PhenoGO is a computed database designed for high throughput mining that provides phenotypic and experimental context - such as the cell type, disease, tissue, and organ - to existing annotations between gene products and Gene Ontology (GO) terms, as specified in the Gene Ontology Annotations (GOA) for multiple model organisms. Phenotypic and Experimental (P&E) contexts to identifiers are computationally mapped to general biological ontologies, including: the Cell Ontology (CO), phenotypes from the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS), species from Taxonomy of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) taxonomy, and specialized ontologies such as Mammalian Phenotype Ontology (MP) and Mouse Anatomy (MA).

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on July 31,2025. A web program that organizes lists of genes of interest (for example, under- and overexpressed genes from a microarray experiment) for biological interpretation in the context of the Gene Ontology and automates the analysis of multiple microarrays then integrates the results across all of them in exportable output files and visualizations. High-Throughput GoMiner is an enhancement of GoMiner and is implemented with both a command line interface and a web interface. The program can also: efficiently perform automated batch processing of an arbitrary number of microarrays; produce a human- or computer-readable report that rank-orders the multiple microarray results according to the number of significant GO categories; integrate the multiple microarray results by providing organized, global clustered image map visualizations of the relationships of significant GO categories; provide a fast form of false discovery rate multiple comparisons calculation; and provide annotations and visualizations for relating transcription factor binding sites to genes and GO categories.

Transcriptomic information (spatiotemporal gene expression profile data) on the postnatal cerebellar development of mice (C57B/6J & ICR). It is a tool for mining cerebellar genes and gene expression, and provides a portal to relevant bioinformatics links. The mouse cerebellar circuit develops through a series of cellular and morphological events, including neuronal proliferation and migration, axonogenesis, dendritogenesis, and synaptogenesis, all within three weeks after birth, and each event is controlled by a specific gene group whose expression profile must be encoded in the genome. To elucidate the genetic basis of cerebellar circuit development, CDT-DB analyzes spatiotemporal gene expression by using in situ hybridization (ISH) for cellular resolution and by using fluorescence differential display and microarrays (GeneChip) for developmental time series resolution. The CDT-DB not only provides a cross-search function for large amounts of experimental data (ISH brain images, GeneChip graph, RT-PCR gel images), but also includes a portal function by which all registered genes have been provided with hyperlinks to websites of many relevant bioinformatics regarding gene ontology, genome, proteins, pathways, cell functions, and publications. Thus, the CDT-DB is a useful tool for mining potentially important genes based on characteristic expression profiles in particular cell types or during a particular time window in developing mouse brains.

The Generic GO Term Mapper finds the GO terms shared among a list of genes from your organism of choice within a slim ontology, allowing them to be binned into broader categories. The user may optionally provide a custom gene association file or slim ontology, or a custom list of slim terms. The implementation of this Generic GO Term Mapper uses map2slim.pl script written by Chris Mungall at Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project, and some of the modules included in the GO-TermFinder distribution written by Gavin Sherlock and Shuai Weng at Stanford University, made publicly available through the GMOD project. GO Term Mapper serves a different function than the GO Term Finder. GO Term Mapper simply bins the submitted gene list to a static set of ancestor GO terms. In contrast, GO Term Finder finds the GO terms significantly enriched in a submitted list of genes. Platform: Online tool, Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

http://vortex.cs.wayne.edu/projects.htm#Onto-Compare

Microarrays are at the center of a revolution in biotechnology, allowing researchers to screen tens of thousands of genes simultaneously. Typically, they have been used in exploratory research to help formulate hypotheses. In most cases, this phase is followed by a more focused, hypothesis driven stage in which certain specific biological processes and pathways are thought to be involved. Since a single biological process can still involve hundreds of genes, microarrays are still the preferred approach as proven by the availability of focused arrays from several manufacturers. Since focused arrays from different manufacturers use different sets of genes, each array will represent any given regulatory pathway to a different extent. We argue that a functional analysis of the arrays available should be the most important criterion used in the array selection. We developed Onto-Compare as a database that can provide this functionality, based on the GO nomenclature. Compare commercially available microarrays based on GO. User account required.

http://code.google.com/p/behavior-ontology

An ontology consisting of two main components, an ontology of behavioral processes and an ontology of behavioral phenotypes. The behavioral process branch of NBO contains a classification of behavior processes complementing and extending the GO process ontology. The behavior phenotype branch of NBO consists of a classification of both normal and abnormal behavioral characteristics of organisms. The prime application of NBO is to provide the vocabulary that is required to integrate behavior observations within and across species. It is currently being applied by several model organism communities as well as in the description of human behavior-related disease phenotypes. The main ontology is available in both the OBO Flatfile Format and the Web Ontology Language (OWL).

GoMiner is a tool for biological interpretation of "omic" data including data from gene expression microarrays. Omic experiments often generate lists of dozens or hundreds of genes that differ in expression between samples, raising the question, What does it all mean biologically? To answer this question, GoMiner leverages the Gene Ontology (GO) to identify the biological processes, functions and components represented in these lists. Instead of analyzing microarray results with a gene-by-gene approach, GoMiner classifies the genes into biologically coherent categories and assesses these categories. The insights gained through GoMiner can generate hypotheses to guide additional research. GoMiner displays the genes within the framework of the Gene Ontology hierarchy in two ways: * In the form of a tree, similar to that in AmiGO * In the form of a "Directed Acyclic Graph" (DAG) The program also provides: * Quantitative and statistical analysis * Seamless integration with important public databases GoMiner uses the databases provided by the GO Consortium. These databases combine information from a number of different consortium participants, include information from many different organisms and data sources, and are referenced using a variety of different gene product identification approaches.
