Author Information
Author(s): Zhou Xin, Su Zhen
Primary Institution: China Agricultural University
Hypothesis
EasyGO aims to provide a functional enrichment analysis tool specifically designed for agronomical species.
Conclusion
EasyGO is an effective tool for biologists and agricultural scientists to uncover enriched biological knowledge.
Supporting Evidence
- EasyGO supports Affymetrix GeneChips for 12 plant species and 3 animal species.
- Analysis results are visualized in a hierarchical tree structure for better comprehension.
- EasyGO allows users to submit customized reference lists for more accurate analysis.
Takeaway
EasyGO helps scientists understand complex data from plant and animal studies by showing important biological information in a simple way.
Methodology
EasyGO uses a web-based interface to perform Gene Ontology-based functional enrichment analysis and visualizes results using statistical tests.
Limitations
The reliability of transferred GO annotations may be affected by the similarity between query and top hit sequences.
