bc_get_go_terms_by_gene

Retrieve Gene Ontology (GO) terms linked to a specific gene name using the Ontology Lookup Service. Input a gene name to access structured vocabularies and attributes for gene-related research and analysis.

Instructions

Query the Ontology Lookup Service (OLS) for Gene Ontology (GO) terms related to a gene name.

This function searches for GO terms associated with a given gene name using the OLS API. Gene Ontology provides structured vocabularies for gene and gene product attributes.

Args: gene_name (str): The gene name or symbol to search for (e.g., "TP53"). size (int): Maximum number of results to return (default: 10). exact_match (bool): Whether to perform an exact match search (default: False).

Returns: dict: Dictionary containing GO terms and information or error message

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`exact_match`	No	Whether to perform an exact match search
`gene_name`	Yes	The gene name or symbol to search for (e.g., 'TP53', 'BRCA1')
`size`	No	The maximum number of results to return
