The Term Enrichment tool finds significant shared GO Terms or parents of those GO terms, used to describe the genes in the query/input set to help discover what those genes may have in common. The Term Enrichment tool makes use of the GO-TermFinder  perl module written by Gavin Sherlock and Shuai Weng at Stanford University.
The Slimmer tool allows you to map the granular annotations of the query set of genes to one or more high-level, broader parent terms referred to as GO Slim terms. This is possible with GO because there are parent:child relationships recorded between granular terms and more general parent (ie. GO slim) terms. The Slimmer tool can be useful in reporting the results of GO annotations of a genome, analyzing the results of microarray expression data, or cDNA collection using a high level view of the three ontologies.

The Slimmer tool allows you to map the granular annotations of the query set of genes to one or more high-level, broader parent terms referred to as GO Slim terms. This is possible with GO because there are parent:child relationships recorded between granular terms and more general parent (ie. GO slim) terms.
