g:Profiler is a public web server for characterising and manipulating gene lists resulting from mining high-throughput genomic data. g:Profiler has a simple, user-friendly web interface with powerful visualisation for capturing Gene Ontology, pathway, or transcription factor binding site enrichments down to individual gene levels. Besides standard multiple testing corrections, a new improved method for estimating the true effect of multiple testing over complex structures like GO has been introduced. Interpreting ranked gene lists is supported from the same interface with very efficient algorithms. Such ordered lists may arise when studying the most significantly affected genes from high-throughput data or genes co-expressed with the query gene. Other important aspects of practical data analysis are supported by modules tightly integrated with g:Profiler. These are:

g:Profiler supports 31 different species, and underlying data is updated regularly from sources like the Ensembl database. Bioinformatics communities wishing to integrate with g:Profiler can use alternative simple textual outputs.

Databases of protein domains and functional sites have become vital resources for the prediction of protein functions. During the last decade, several signature- recognition methods have evolved to address different sequence analysis problems, resulting in rather different and, for the most part, independent databases. Diagnostically, these resources have different areas of optimum application owing to the different strengths and weaknesses of their underlying analysis methods. Thus, for best results, search strategies should ideally combine all of them. InterProScan is a perl-based program which combines these different protein signature recognition methods into one resource.

FunNet is designed as an integrative tool for analyzing gene co-expression networks built from microarray expression data. The analytical model implemented in this tool involves two abstraction layers: transcriptional (i.e. gene expression profiles) and functional (i.e. biological themes indicating the roles of the analyzed transcripts). A functional analysis technique, which relies on Gene Ontology and KEGG annotations, is applied to extract a list of relevant biological themes from microarray gene expression data. Afterwards multiple-instance representations are built to relate relevant biological themes to their annotated transcripts. An original non-linear dynamical model is used to quantify the contextual proximity of relevant genomic themes based on their patterns of propagation in the gene co-expression network (i.e. capturing the similarity of the expression profiles of the transcriptional instances of annotating themes). In the end an unsupervised multiple-instance spectral clustering procedure is used to explore the modular architecture of the co-expression network by grouping together biological themes demonstrating a significant relationship in the co-expression network. Functional and transcriptional representations of the co-expression network are provided, together with detailed information on the contextual centrality of related transcripts and genomic themes.

FunNet is provided both as a web-based tool and as a standalone R package. The standalone R implementation can be run on any operating system for which an R environment implementation is available (Windows, Mac OS, various flavors of Linux and Unix) and can bedownloaded from the FunNet website, or from the worldwide mirrors of CRAN.

Probe Explorer is an open access web-based bioinformatics application designed to show the association between microarray oligonucleotide probes and transcripts in the genomic context, but flexible enough to serve as a simplified genome and transcriptome browser. Coordinates and sequences of the genomic entities (loci, exons, transcripts), including vector graphics outputs, are provided for fifteen metazoa organisms and two yeasts. Alignment tools are used to built the associations between Affymetrix microarrays probe sequences and the transcriptomes (for human, mouse, rat and yeasts). Search by keywords is available and user searches and alignments on the genomes can also be done using any DNA or protein sequence query.

[Instance] id: TOOL:000093 type: tool name: Profiling of Complex Functionality synonym_abbr: ProfCom url: http://webclu.bio.wzw.tum.de/profcom/ is_online_tool: true developer: ORG:000065 publication: PMID:16959266 license: free_academic description:

ProfCom is a web-based tool for the functional interpretation of a gene list that was identified to be related by experiments. A trait which makes ProfCom a unique tool is an ability to profile enrichments of not only available Gene Ontology (GO) terms but also of complex function. A complex function is constructed as Boolean combination of available GO terms. The complex functions inferred by ProfCom are more specific in comparison to single terms and describe more accurately the functional role of genes.

SeqExpress is a comprehensive analysis and visualisation package for gene expression experiments. GO is used to assign functional enrichment scores to clusters, using a combination of specially developed techniques and general statistical methods. These results can be explored using the in built ontology browsing tool or through the generated web pages. SeqExpress also supports numerous data transformation, projection, visualisation, file export/import, searching, integration (with R), and clustering options.

The Spotfire Gene Ontology Advantage Application integrates GO annotations with gene expression analysis in Spotfire DecisionSite for Functional Genomics. Researchers can select a subset of genes in DecisionSite visualizations and display their distribution in the Gene Ontology hierarchy. Similarly, selection of any process, function or cellular location in the Gene Ontology hierarchy automatically marks the corresponding genes in DecisionSite visualizations.

The Short Time-series Expression Miner (STEM) is a Java program for clustering, comparing, and visualizing short time series gene expression data (8 time points or less). STEM allows researchers to identify significant temporal expression profiles and the genes associated with these profiles and to compare the behavior of these genes across multiple conditions. STEM is fully integrated with the Gene Ontology (GO) database and supports GO category gene enrichment analyses for sets of genes having the same temporal expression pattern. STEM also supports the ability to easily determine and visualize the behavior of genes belonging to a given GO category, identifying which temporal expression profiles were enriched for these genes.

[Instance] id: TOOL:000099 type: tool name: T-Profiler url: http://www.t-profiler.org/ is_online_tool: true developer: ORG:000076 developer: ORG:000087 publication: PMID:15980543 license: free_academic description:

T-Profiler uses the t-test to score changes in the average activity of pre-defined groups of genes. The gene groups are defined based on Gene Ontology categorization, ChIP-chip experiments, upstream matches to a consensus transcription factor binding motif, and location on the same chromosome, respectively. A jack-knife procedure is used to make calculations more robust against outliers. T-profiler makes it possible to interpret microarray data in a way that is both intuitive and statistically rigorous, without the need to combine experiments or choose parameters.

THEA (Tools for High-throughput Experiments Analysis) is an integrated information processing system dedicated to the analysis of post-genomic data. It allows automatic annotation of data issued from classification systems with selected biological information (including the Gene Ontology). Users can either manually search and browse through these annotations, or automatically generate meaningful generalizations according to statistical criteria (data mining).
