• The objective of GO is to provide controlled vocabularies for
the description of the molecular function, biological process and
cellular component of gene products.
• These terms are to be used as attributes of gene products by
collaborating databases, facilitating uniform queries across
them.
• The controlled vocabularies of terms are structured
GO structure
The three categories of GO
Molecular Function
GO tree structure
the tasks performed by individual
gene products; examples are
transcription factor and DNA
helicase
Biological Process
broad biological goals, such as
mitosis or purine metabolism,
that are accomplished by ordered
assemblies of molecular functions
Cellular Component
subcellular structures, locations,
and macromolecular complexes;
examples include nucleus,
telomere, and origin recognition

Threshold-based and threshold free methods
Threshold-based example: FatiGO.
Threshold free example 1: FatisScan.
Threshold-based
functional analysis
Threshold-free
functional analysis
Study the enrichment in functional
terms in groups of genes defined by
the experimental value.
Select genes taking into account
their functional properties.

The two-steps approach
•
•
Genes of interest are selected
using the experimental value.
Selected genes are compared
to the background.
•
Under a systems biology
perspective.
•
Detect blocks of functionally
related genes.

::: How the functional profiling should never be done
It is not uncommon to find the following assertion in papers and talks:
“then we examined our set of genes selected in this way (whatever)
and we discover that 65% of them were related to metabolism, so we
can conclude that our experiment activates metabolism genes”.
Annotation is not a functional result!!!
::: Exercise 1: FatiGO SEARCH
1. Select “FatiGO Search” ” and “H. sapiens”.
2. Upload FatiGO_example.txt file
3. Select “KEGG pathways” and click “Run”

FatiGO-Search annotations
Testing the distribution of GO terms among two groups
of genes
(remember, we have to test hundreds of GOs)
Group A
Group B
Are this two
groups of genes
carrying out
different
biological roles?
Biosynthesis 60%
Biosynthesis 20%
Sporulation
Sporulation
20%
Genes in group A have
significantly to do with
biosynthesis, but not with
sporulation.

Using FatiGO
Comparing groups of genes

List1: genes of interest (they are significantly over- or underexpressed when two classes of experiments are compared, colocated in the chromosomes, etc.)

List2:the background (typically the rest of genes).

Select suitable database, Run...
Remove genes

2. Upload FatiGO_example.txt file
3. Select “Rest of Genome” as background.
4. Select “KEGG pathways” and click “Run”
