GO Slim Sets



slim sets are abbreviated versions of the GO
contain broader functional terms
made by different GO Consortium groups (for different
purposes, eg. plant, yeast, etc)
need to cite which one you used!
More information about GO terms for each slim set can be
found at EBI QuickGO:

GO slims tutorial available
This tutorial will describe GO slims, what they are
used for and how to use QuickGO for:
* creating a custom GO slim
* using a pre-defined GO slim
* obtaining GO annotations to a GO slim
* customising a set of slimmed annotations
* using statistics calculated by QuickGO to
generate graphical representations of the data

GOSlimViewer input file
Input is a text file containing 3 tab
separated columns:
1. accession
2. GO:ID
3. aspect (P,F or C)
• file provided by GORetriever
and GOanna2ga
• can manually add to it from
GOanna excel file
allows you to include your
additional GO annotations in
the analysis

GO Enrichment analysis
Determining which classes of gene products
are over-represented or under-represented.

However….
 many of these tools do not support
agricultural species
 the tools have different computing
requirements
A list of these tools that can be used for
agricultural species is available on the
workshop website at the “Summary of Tools
for gene expression analysis” link.
Evaluating GO tools
Some criteria for evaluating GO Tools:
1. Does it include my species of interest (or do I have to
“humanize” my list)?
2. What does it require to set up (computer usage/online)
3. What was the source for the GO (primary or secondary)
and when was it last updated?
4. Does it report the GO evidence codes (and is IEA
included)?
5. Does it report which of my gene products has no GO?
6. Does it report both over/under represented GO groups
and how does it evaluate this?
7. Does it allow me to add my own GO annotations?
8. Does it represent my results in a way that facilitates
discovery?
Some useful expression analysis tools:
Database for Annotation, Visualization and
Integrated Discovery (DAVID)

Pathway & network analysis
GO, Pathway, Network Analysis
Many GO analysis tools also include
pathway & network analysis
 Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (IPA) and
Pathway Studios – commercial software
 DAVID – includes multiple functional
categories
 Onto-Tools – includes Pathways Express
tool

Pathways & Networks

A network is a collection of interactions

Pathways are a subset of networks
Network of interacting proteins that carry out biological
functions such as metabolism and signal transduction

All pathways are networks of interactions

Not all networks are pathways

Biological Networks
Networks often represented as graphs
 Nodes represent proteins or genes that
code for proteins
 Edges represent the functional links
between nodes (ex regulation)
 Small changes in graph’s
topology/architecture can result in the
emergence of novel properties

Types of interactions

protein (enzyme) – metabolite (ligand)


protein – protein


metabolic pathways
cell signaling pathways, protein complexes
protein – gene

genetic networks

Some comments on analysis tools:
> 68 GO based analysis tools listed on the
GO Consortium website (not a
comprehensive list!)
 several tools combine GO, pathway and
network functional analysis
 many different ways of visualizing the
results
 expanding the species supported by
analysis tools – check with tool developers
 check for last updates & user support
information

Tutorial 5
In this tutorial we will use several GO
modeling tools. We will use GOSlimViewer
to summarize the GO function from the
cassava data set. Next we will use two GO
enrichment analysis tools, DAVID and
AgriGO to do GO enrichment analysis of a
maize data set and compare the results
from the two tools.
