     To enable to use ontology terms in querying for Ensembl objects,
-    a method called fetch_all_by_GOTerm() was added to GeneAdaptor,
-    TranscriptAdaptor, and to TranslationAdaptor.  Given a GO term
-    object, this method uses the DBEntryAdaptor to fetch objects
-    that are cross-referenced with the GO term or with any of its
-    descendants.

+    Given a GO term object, the fetch_all_by_GOTerm() method uses
+    the DBEntryAdaptor to fetch objects that are cross-referenced
+    with the GO term or with any of its descendants.  The
+    fetch_all_by_GOTerm_accession() method works similarly, but
+    instead of a GO term object it takes a GO term accession.
