Gene Ontology Browsing Utility

Gene Ontology Browsing Utility (hereinafter, GOBU, pronounced as "go-boo") is a browsing and manipulating tool for Post-Pipeline genetic data, especially useful for data with GO annotations. With help of GOBU, we expect biologists and their cooperating technicians can pay less effort on common programming stuff. At the same time, GOBU provides an Extendable Architecture which guarantees the possibility of

Arbitrary Data Description,
Data Integration, and
Extendable User Interface.

Shortcuts to Useful Plugins

Observe expression changes of given GO annotation

See GO hierarchy of given GO terms

Compute GO enrichment P-values

List all kinds of integrated information

Get functional distribution
