Planteome Gene Annotation Enrichment Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Annotation enrichment analysis of a gene list helps biologists to identify the potential biological functions associated with it. With the extensions of plant ontology categories, the discovery of significant ontology terms associated with a gene list becomes more and more informative. We introduce a tool to help biologists to find out these terms based on the expanding ontology database of the Planteome project. In addition, we propose some new visualization schemes to help users construct a meaningful interpretation of the results guided by the ontology tree. keywords—Ontology, Plants, Term enrichment analysis, Visualization

The Planteome database: an integrated resource for reference ontologies, plant genomics and phenomics
The Planteome project (http://www.planteome.org) provides a suite of reference and species-specific ontologies for plants and annotations to genes and phenotypes. Ontologies serve as common standards for semantic integration of a large and growing corpus of plant genomics, phenomics and genetics data. The reference ontologies include the Plant Ontology, Plant Trait Ontology and the Plant Experi...
متن کاملThe Planteome Project
The Planteome project is a centralized online plant informatics portal which provides semantic integration of widely diverse datasets with the goal of plant improvement. Traditional plant breeding methods for crop improvement may be combined with next-generation analysis methods and automated scoring of traits and phenotypes to develop improved varieties. The Planteome project (www.planteome.or...
متن کاملAnnotating Germplasm to Planteome Reference Ontologies
An expected use case of plant phenotype ontologies will be the identification of germplasm containing particular traits of interest. If phenotype data from experiments is annotated using ontologies, it makes sense to include annotations to that germplasm source. A lack of standardized data formatting reduces the utility of these data. Standardizing germplasm data, including links to germplasm d...
متن کاملmiEAA: microRNA enrichment analysis and annotation
Similar to the development of gene set enrichment and gene regulatory network analysis tools over a decade ago, microRNA enrichment tools are currently gaining importance. Building on our experience with the gene set analysis toolkit GeneTrail, we implemented the miRNA Enrichment Analysis and Annotation tool (miEAA). MiEAA is a web-based application that offers a variety of commonly applied sta...
متن کاملImpact of ontology evolution on functional analyses
MOTIVATION Ontologies are used in the annotation and analysis of biological data. As knowledge accumulates, ontologies and annotation undergo constant modifications to reflect this new knowledge. These modifications may influence the results of statistical applications such as functional enrichment analyses that describe experimental data in terms of ontological groupings. Here, we investigate ...
