THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVCE, documented September 2, 2016. Meta Gene Profiler (MetaGP) is a web application tool for discovering differentially expressed gene sets (meta genes) from the gene set library registered in our database. Once user submits gene expression profiles which are categorized into subtypes of conditioned experiments, or a list of genes with the valid pvalues, MetaGP assigns the integrated p-value to each gene set by combining the statistical evidences of genes that are obtained from gene-level analysis of significance. The current version supports the nine Affymetrix GeneChip arrays for the three organisms (human, mouse and rat). The significances of GO terms are graphically mapped onto the directed acyclic graph (DAG). The navigation systems of GO hierarchy enable us to summarize the significance of interesting sub-graphs on the web browser. Platform: Online tool

Network Ontology Analysis (NOA) (abbreviated to NOA) is a freely available collection of Gene Ontology tools aiming to analyze functions of gene network instead of gene list. Network rewiring facilitates the function changes between conditions even with the same gene list. Therefore, it is necessary to annotate the specific function of networks by considering the fundamental roles of interactions from the viewpoint of systems biology. NOA is such a novel functional enrichment analysis method capable to handle both dynamic and static networks. The application of NOA in biological networks shows that NOA can not only capture changing functions in rewiring networks but also find more relevant and specific functions in traditional static networks.

OBO-Edit is an open source, platform-independent application written in Java for viewing and editing any OBO format ontologies. OBO-Edit is a graph-based tool; its emphasis on the overall graph structure of an ontology provides a friendly interface for biologists, and makes OBO-Edit excellent for the rapid generation of large ontologies focusing on relationships between relatively simple classes. The UI components are cleanly separated from the data model and data adapters, so these can be reused in other applications. The oboedit foward-chaining reasoner can also be used independently (for example, for traversing ontology graphs). OBO-Edit uses the OBO format flat file. See the GO wiki, http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/OBO-Edit:_Getting_the_Source_Code, for instructions on downloading the source code. Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

The Integrated Tool for IC-based GO Semantic Similarity Measures (IT-GOM) integrates the currently known GO semantic similarity measures into a single tool. It provides the information content (IC) of GO terms, semantic similarity between GO terms and GO-based protein functional similarity scores. The specificity of GO terms and the similarity of biological content between GO terms or proteins are transformed into numeric values for protein analyses at the functional level. The integration of the different measures enables users to choose the measure best suited to their application and to compare results between different semantic similarity measures.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 10, 2012. Cluster Assignment for Biological Inference (CLASSIFI) is a data-mining tool that can be used to identify significant co-clustering of genes with similar functional properties (e.g. cellular response to DNA damage). Briefly, CLASSIFI uses the Gene Ontology gene annotation scheme to define the functional properties of all genes/probes in a microarray data set, and then applies a cumulative hypergeometric distribution analysis to determine if any statistically significant gene ontology co-clustering has occurred.

ProteInOn calculates semantic similarity between GO terms or proteins annotated with GO terms. It also calculates term enrichment of protein sets, by applying a term representativity score, and gives additional information on protein interactions. The query compute protein semantic similarity returns the semantic similarity scores between all proteins entered, in matrix format. The option Measure allows users to choose one of several semantic similarity measures: Resnik, Lin, or Jiang & Conrath's measures with or without the DCA approach, plus the graph-based simUI and simGIC measures. These measures are listed by order of performance as evaluated with protein sequence similarity. The option GO type allows users to choose one of the aspects of GO: molecular function, biological process and cellular component. The option Ignore IEA limits the query to non-electronic annotations, excluding evidence types: IEA, NAS, ND, NR.

FunSpec is a web-based tool for statistical evaluation of groups of genes and proteins (e.g. co-regulated genes, protein complexes, genetic interactors) with respect to existing annotations, including GO terms. FunSpec (an acronym for Functional Specification) inputs a list of yeast gene names, and outputs a summary of functional classes, cellular localizations, protein complexes, etc. that are enriched in the list. The classes and categories evaluated were downloaded from the MIPS Database and the GO Database . In addition, many published datasets have been compiled to evaluate enrichment against. Hypertext links to the publications are given. The p-values, calculated using the hypergeometric distribution, represent the probability that the intersection of given list with any given functional category occurs by chance. The Bonferroni-correction divides the p-value threshold, that would be deemed significant for an individual test, by the number of tests conducted and thus accounts for spurious significance due to multiple testing over the categories of a database. After the Bonferroni correction, only those categories are displayed for which the chance probability of enrichment is lower than: p-value/#CD where #CD is the number of categories in the selected database. Without the Bonferroni Correction, all categories are displayed for which the same probability of enrichment is lower than: p-value threshold in an individual test Note that many genes are contained in many categories, especially in the MIPS database (which are hierarchical) and that this can create biases for which FunSpec currently makes no compensation. Also the databases are treated as independent from one another, which is really not the case, and each is searched seperately, which may not be optimal for statistical calculations. Nonetheless, we find it useful for sifting through the results of clustering analysis, TAP pulldowns, etc. Platform: Online tool
