Introduction
AmiGO is the official web-based set tools for searching and browsing the Gene Ontology database, which consists of a controlled vocabulary of terms covering biological concepts, and a large number of genes or gene products whose attributes have been annotated using GO terms.
It can be accessed online at the main installation or deployed locally.
To learn more about what the Gene Ontology is and what it does, please read the introductory documentation.
What can I do using AmiGO?
- search for a gene or gene product, or a list of gene or gene products, and view the GO term associations
- perform a sequence identity BLAST search and view the GO term associations for the genes or proteins returned
- search for GO terms and view the genes or gene products they are annotated to
- browse the GO ontology and view terms
- the AmiGO_Manual:_Slimmer slimmer tool can be used to map the granular annotations of the query set of genes to one or more high-level
- term enrichment: TODO
- GOOSE: TODO
Availability
AmiGO is an open source software project and can be downloaded and installed as part of the go-dev CVS repository from the Gene Ontology SourceForge.net page.
For full installation instructions, please see the AmiGO_Manual:_Installation wiki pages.
Browser Compatibility
AmiGO is compatible with most modern operating system/browser combinations with good CSS support, including:
