  • High throughput Gene Ontology enrichment API

    A bioinformatics question: I have been doing more and more Gene Ontology (GO) work, specifically, I am looking for enriched terms in my various gene sets. I usually go through the web-based programs like DAVID or Babelomics. However, I now need a high-throughput approach, but was disappointed to only find GO::TermFinder on CPAN.

    There are plenty of GO handlers available on CPAN, but far fewer analytical tools, and there are many listed on GO.org, but most are web-based... so I wondered if anyone had any experience of doing GO term enrichment on many, many groups of genes?
    1. Any particular API I should use?
    2. Any particular problems I should look out for?
    3. Is there another web-based program I should think about?
    4. Is there a downloadable program that might be a good alternate? (i.e. a commandline based one that I can automate usage of?)


    Any help or advice much appreciated!

    NB: I have also cross-posted a similar question on PerlMonks...

    Hi,

    I'd personally recommend using either the topGO or GOstats packages from Bioconductor. They're both quite amenable to being used in a high-throughput analysis pipeline, although to get the most out of them you'll want to be comfortable in R.

      Thanks for the tip, I hadn't been through Bioconductor yet.

        You might also check out GeneAnswers (also in R).

          Investigating the Gut Microbiome Through Diet and Spatial Biology
          by seqadmin




          The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...
