Gene Ontology and pathway Analysis

Gene Ontology and Pathway Analysis

The Gene Ontology (GO) describes gene function and its classification based on their function. GO
information is mainly used for enrichment analysis of gene sets that are up or down regulated under
certain conditions. Gene set enrichment analysis will find which GO terms are overrepresented (or
underrepresented). Similarly, pathway enrichment analysis will identify the major pathways in
which these genes are involved.
