NaviGO: interactive tool for visualization and functional similarity and coherence analysis with gene ontology.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The number of genomics and proteomics experiments is growing rapidly, producing an ever-increasing amount of data that are awaiting functional interpretation. A number of function prediction algorithms were developed and improved to enable fast and automatic function annotation. With the well-defined structure and manual curation, Gene Ontology (GO) is the most frequently used vocabulary for representing gene functions. To understand relationship and similarity between GO annotations of genes, it is important to have a convenient pipeline that quantifies and visualizes the GO function analyses in a systematic fashion.

Results

NaviGO is a web-based tool for interactive visualization, retrieval, and computation of functional similarity and associations of GO terms a
