RITAN: rapid integration of term annotation and network resources.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Identifying the biologic functions of groups of genes identified in high-throughput studies currently requires considerable time and/or bioinformatics experience. This is due in part to each resource housed within separate databases, requiring users to know about them, and integrate across them. Time consuming and often repeated for each study, integrating across resources and merging with data under study is an increasingly common bioinformatics task.

Methods

We developed an open-source R software package for assisting researchers in annotating their genesets with functions, pathways, and their interconnectivity across a diversity of network resources.

Results

We present rapid integration of term annotation and network resources (RITAN) for the rapid and c
