http://eagl.unige.ch/GOCat/

Software tool that uses a machine learning (ML) approach to classify text, based on the Gene Ontology. It relies on a k-Nearest Neighbours algorithm, a simple algorithm which assigns to a new text the categories that are the most prevalent among the k most similar instances contained in the knowledge base. The ML classifier operates in two steps and combines two components. First, a related article search engine retrieves instances (i.e. abstracts) in the knowledge base that are the most similar to the input text (its nearest neighbours); second, a score computer infers the functional profile from the k most similar instances.

http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Rebholz-srv/ebimed/

A web application that combines Information Retrieval and Extraction from Medline. EBIMed finds Medline abstracts in the same way PubMed does. Then it goes a step beyond and analyses them to offer a complete overview on associations between UniProt protein/gene names, GO annotations, Drugs and Species. The results are shown in a table that displays all the associations and links to the sentences that support them and to the original abstracts. By selecting relevant sentences and highlighting the biomedical terminology EBIMed enhances your ability to acquire knowledge, relate facts, discover implications and, overall, have a good overview economizing the effort in reading.

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

The typical result of a microarray experiment is a list of tens or hundreds of genes found to be differentially regulated in the condition under study. Independently of the methods used to select these genes, the common task faced by any researcher is to translate these lists of genes into a better understanding of the biological phenomena involved. Currently, this is done through a tedious combination of searches through the literature and a number of public databases. We developed Onto-Express (OE) as a novel tool able to automatically translate such lists of differentially regulated genes into functional profiles characterizing the impact of the condition studied. OE constructs functional profiles (using Gene Ontology terms) for the following categories: biochemical function, biological process, cellular role, cellular component, molecular function and chromosome location. Statistical significance values are calculated for each category. We demonstrated the validity and the utility of this comprehensive global analysis of gene function by analyzing two breast cancer data sets from two separate laboratories. OE was able to identify correctly all biological processes postulated by the original authors, as well as discover novel relevant mechanisms (Draghici et.al, Genomics, 81(2), 2003). Other results obtained with Onto-Express can be found in Khatri et.al., Genomics. 79(2), 2002. Custom level of abstraction of the Gene Ontology. User account required. Platform: Online tool

StRAnGER (Statistical Ranking of ANotated Genomic Experimental Results) is a web application for the automated statistical analysis of annotated gene profiling experiments, exploiting controlled biological vocabularies, like the Gene Ontology or the KEGG pathways terms. Starting from annotated lists of differentially expressed genes StRAnGER repartitions and reorders the initial distribution of terms to define a new distribution of elements where each element pools terms holding the same enrichment score. The elements are then prioritized according to StRAnGER''''s algorithm and, by applying bootstrapping techniques, a corrected measure of the statistical significance of these elements is derived, enabling the selection of terms mapped to these elements, unambiguously associated with respective significant gene sets. Besides their high statistical score, another selection criterion for the terms is the number of their members, something that incurs a biological prioritization in line with a Systems Biology context.

http://sequenceontology.org/

A collaborative ontology for the definition of sequence features used in biological sequence annotation. SO was initially developed by the Gene Ontology Consortium. Contributors to SO include the GMOD community, model organism database groups such as WormBase, FlyBase, Mouse Genome Informatics group, and institutes such as the Sanger Institute and the EBI. Input to SO is welcomed from the sequence annotation community. The OBO revision is available here: http://sourceforge.net/p/song/svn/HEAD/tree/ SO includes different kinds of features which can be located on the sequence. Biological features are those which are defined by their disposition to be involved in a biological process. Biomaterial features are those which are intended for use in an experiment such as aptamer and PCR_product. There are also experimental features which are the result of an experiment. SO also provides a rich set of attributes to describe these features such as polycistronic and maternally imprinted. The Sequence Ontologies use the OBO flat file format specification version 1.2, developed by the Gene Ontology Consortium. The ontology is also available in OWL from Open Biomedical Ontologies. This is updated nightly and may be slightly out of sync with the current obo file. An OWL version of the ontology is also available. The resolvable URI for the current version of SO is http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/so.owl.

They combine protein signatures from a number of member databases into a single searchable resource, capitalizing on their individual strengths to produce a powerful integrated database and diagnostic tool. This integrated database of predictive protein signatures is used for the classification and automatic annotation of proteins and genomes. InterPro classifies sequences at superfamily, family and subfamily levels, predicting the occurrence of functional domains, repeats and important sites. InterPro adds in-depth annotation, including GO terms, to the protein signatures. You can access the data programmatically, via Web Services. The member databases use a number of approaches: # ProDom: provider of sequence-clusters built from UniProtKB using PSI-BLAST. # PROSITE patterns: provider of simple regular expressions. # PROSITE and HAMAP profiles: provide sequence matrices. # PRINTS provider of fingerprints, which are groups of aligned, un-weighted Position Specific Sequence Matrices (PSSMs). # PANTHER, PIRSF, Pfam, SMART, TIGRFAMs, Gene3D and SUPERFAMILY: are providers of hidden Markov models (HMMs). Your contributions are welcome. You are encouraged to use the ''''Add your annotation'''' button on InterPro entry pages to suggest updated or improved annotation for individual InterPro entries.
