They are specified by tags within the ontology that indicate if a given term is a member of a particular subset. GO subsets are particularly useful for providing a broad overview of the range of functions and processes. More information can and links for downloading subsets be found on the [Guide to GO subsets](/docs/go-subset-guide/) page. +GO subsets (also known as GO slims) are condensed versions of the GO containing a reduced number of terms. They are specified by tags within the ontology that indicate if a given term is a member of a particular subset. GO subsets are used to provide a broad overview of the range of functions and processes relevant to a gene or a goup of genes. More information and links for downloading subsets be found on the [Guide to GO subsets](/docs/go-subset-guide/) page. ## Cross-references of GO to other classification systems -Many GO classes have cross-references (mapped) to a number of external classification systems. The [cross-references of external classification systems to GO page](/docs/download-mappings/) contains more information and links to the cross-reference2GO files. +Many GO classes have cross-references (mappings) to a number of external classification systems.

We *strongly* recommend using the latest official release instead of snapshot. If you have need to access the snapshot (daily) version, use `/snapshot/` in the URL. For example:
