The BioMartGOGeneSets contains pre-compiled GO gene sets for a huge number of organisms supported in BioMart. There are two types of data: 1. genes and 2 gene sets.
To obtain the genes, use the function getBioMartGenes(). You need to provide a proper “dataset”, which can be found with the function supportedOrganisms() (A complete list can be also found from “BioMart Gene Ontology Gene Sets Collections)”. Here we use the dataset "hsapiens_gene_ensembl" as an example which is for human.

## seqinfo: 445 sequences from an unspecified genome; no seqlengthsThe returned value is a GRanges object which contains the coordinates of genes. The meta columns contain additional information of genes such as different gene IDs and type of genes.
You can also provide a “short name” for dataset and the function will perform a partial matching.
You can try the following command and see what will be printed:
You can also provide the taxon id for the organism:
Chromosome names from Ensembl have no “chr” prefix. You can set add_chr_prefix = TURE to add "chr" prefix to some of the chromosome names. Internally it uses GenomeInfoDb::seqlevelsStyle(gr) = "UCSC" to check and to add "chr" prefix.

## seqinfo: 24 sequences from an unspecified genome; no seqlengthsTo obtain the gene sets, use the function getBioMartGOGeneSets(). Also you need to provide the “dataset”. Here we use a different dataset: "mmusculus_gene_ensembl" (mouse).

You can try the following command and see what will be printed:
Remember you can also set the taxon ID:
In getBioMartGOGeneSets(), argument as_table can be set to TRUE, then the function returns a data frame.

getBioMartGOGeneSets("mmusculus_gene_ensembl", ontology = "BP") # the default one
getBioMartGOGeneSets("mmusculus_gene_ensembl", ontology = "CC")
getBioMartGOGeneSets("mmusculus_gene_ensembl", ontology = "MF")Last, argument gene_id_type can be set to "entrez_gene" or "gene_symbol", then genes in the gene sets are in Entrez IDs or gene symbols. Note this depends on specific organisms, that not every organism supports Entrez IDs or gene symbols.
