Project description

We developed an interactive gene ontology visualization tool named GOTreePlus that can superimpose annotation information over gene ontology structures. GOTreePlus can facilitate the identification of important GO terms while visualizing them in the gene ontology structure. The interactive pie chart summary for a selected gene ontology term provides users with a succinct overview of their experimental results.
