OBO-Edit is an open source, platform-independent application written in Java for viewing and editing any OBO format ontologies. OBO-Edit is a graph-based tool; its emphasis on the overall graph structure of an ontology provides a friendly interface for biologists, and makes OBO-Edit excellent for the rapid generation of large ontologies focusing on relationships between relatively simple classes. The UI components are cleanly separated from the data model and data adapters, so these can be reused in other applications. The oboedit foward-chaining reasoner can also be used independently (for example, for traversing ontology graphs). OBO-Edit uses the OBO format flat file. See the GO wiki, http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/OBO-Edit:_Getting_the_Source_Code, for instructions on downloading the source code. Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

http://dbserv2.informatik.uni-leipzig.de:8080/onex/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 6,2023. Web-based application that integrates versions of 16 life science ontologies including the Gene Ontology, NCI Thesaurus and selected OBO ontologies with data leading back to 2002 in a common repository to explore ontology changes. It allows to study and apply the evolution of these integrated ontologies on three different levels. It provides global ontology evolution statistics and ontology-specific evolution trends for concepts and relationships and it allows the migration of annotations in case a new ontology version was released

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

http://app.aporc.org/NOA/

Network Ontology Analysis (NOA) (abbreviated to NOA) is a freely available collection of Gene Ontology tools aiming to analyze functions of gene network instead of gene list. Network rewiring facilitates the function changes between conditions even with the same gene list. Therefore, it is necessary to annotate the specific function of networks by considering the fundamental roles of interactions from the viewpoint of systems biology. NOA is such a novel functional enrichment analysis method capable to handle both dynamic and static networks. The application of NOA in biological networks shows that NOA can not only capture changing functions in rewiring networks but also find more relevant and specific functions in traditional static networks.

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...
