http://uberon.org

An integrated cross-species anatomy ontology representing a variety of entities classified according to traditional anatomical criteria such as structure, function and developmental lineage. The ontology includes comprehensive relationships to taxon-specific anatomical ontologies, allowing integration of functional, phenotype and expression data. Uberon consists of over 10000 classes (March 2014) representing structures that are shared across a variety of metazoans. The majority of these classes are chordate specific, and there is large bias towards model organisms and human.

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.

http://gowiki.tamu.edu/wiki/

A wiki where users of the Gene Ontology can contribute and view notes about how specific GO terms are used. GONUTS can also be used as a GO term browser, or to search for GO annotations of specific genes from included organisms. The rationale for this wiki is based on helping new users of the gene ontology understand and use it. The GONUTS wiki is not an official product of the the Gene Ontology consortium. The GO consortium has a public wiki at their website, http://wiki.geneontology.org/. Maintaining the ontology involves many decisions to carefully choose terms and relationships. These decisions are currently made at GO meetings and via online discussion using the GO mailing lists and the Sourceforge curator request tracker. However, it is difficult for someone starting to use GO to understand these decisions. Some insight can be obtained by mining the tracker, the listservs and the minutes of GO meetings, but this is difficult, as these discussions are often dispersed and sometimes don't contain the GO accessions in the relevant messages. Wikis provide a way to create collaboratively written documentation for each GO term to explain how it should be used, how to satisfy the true path requirement, and whether an annotation should be placed at a different level. In addition, the wiki pages provide a discussion space, where users can post questions and discuss possible changes to the ontology. GONUTS is currently set up so anyone can view or search, but only registered users can edit or add pages. Currently registered users can create new users, and we are working to add at least one registered user for each participating database (So far we have registered users at EcoliHub, EcoCyc, GOA, BeeBase, SGD, dictyBase, FlyBase, WormBase, TAIR, Rat Genome Database, ZFIN, MGI, UCL and AgBase...

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

In the annotation world, the same piece of information can be stored and viewed differently across different databases. For instance, more than one Affymetrix probe ID can refer to the same GenBank sequence (accession number) and more than one nucleotide sequence from GenBank can be grouped in a single UniGene cluster. The result of Onto-Express depends on whether the input list contains Affymetrix probe IDs, GenBank accession numbers or UniGene cluster IDs. The user has to be aware of relations between the different forms of the data in order to interpret correctly the results. Even if the user is aware of the relationships and knows how to convert them, most existing tools allow conversions of individual genes. Onto-Translate is a tool that allows the user to perform easily such translations. Affymetrix probe IDs, etc., translate GO terms into other identifiers like GenBank accession number, Uniprot IDs. User account required. Platform: Online tool

http://www.gotaxexplorer.de/

GOTaxExplorer presents a new approach to comparative genomics that integrates functional information and families with the taxonomic classification. It integrates UniProt, Gene Ontology, NCBI Taxonomy, Pfam and SMART in one database. GOTaxExplorer provides four different query types: selection of entity sets, comparison of sets of Pfam families, semantic comparison of sets of GO terms, functional comparison of sets of gene products. This permits to select custom sets of GO terms, families or taxonomic groups. For example, it is possible to compare arbitrarily selected organisms or groups of organisms from the taxonomic tree on the basis of the functionality of their genes. Furthermore, it enables to determine the distribution of specific molecular functions or protein families in the taxonomy. The comparison of sets of GO terms allows to assess the semantic similarity of two different GO terms. The functional comparison of gene products makes it possible to identify functionally equivalent and functionally related gene products from two organisms on the basis of GO annotations and a semantic similarity measure for GO.
