Tip of the Week: Lists of genes–>Term Enrichment with GO
The question we probably hear the most from researchers is…what can I do with a giant list of genes to figure out what’s going on in there? And about once every 6 months this question comes across the Gene Ontology mailing list. This is followed by a flurry of developers who offer their cool tools for analysis purposes.
