GOLink: Finding Cooccurring Terms across Gene Ontology Namespaces

Figure 1

Summary of the GOLink stepwise protocol. (a) Simplified tree of a section of the Cellular Component (CC) GO DAG. The child terms of a supplied “query term” GO:0005634 (nucleus) are shown by the long black dashed line and its parents by the short black dashed line. (b) The GO terms used to annotate all genes annotated with the query term or any of its child terms are retrieved. Shown are the relationships between 7 genes and their corresponding GO annotation. The namespace to which a term belongs is indicated by the braced abbreviations Cellular Component (CC), Molecular Function (MF), and Biological Process (BP). (c) Summary of GO term annotation for each gene and an indication of which GOLink terms list each term will be contained in (see main text for classification rules).
