QuickGO Get Term Detail

Get detailed information about a specific Gene Ontology (GO) term from the EBI QuickGO browser. Returns the term name, definition, aspect (biological_process/molecular_function/cellular_component), synonyms, cross-references, and number of child terms. More detailed than the standard GO term lookup, including synonym types and cross-references to other ontologies. Example: GO:0006915 returns 'apoptotic process' with its full definition and 29 child terms.
