Blast2GO

Also known as: B2G

Taxonomy: Technique Branch / Method. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.

Summary

We present here Blast2GO (B2G), a research tool designed with the main purpose of enabling Gene Ontology (GO) based data mining on sequence data for which no GO annotation is yet available.

Usefulness & Problems

No literature-backed usefulness or problem-fit explainer has been materialized for this record yet.

Published Workflows

Objective: Enable Gene Ontology-based data mining on sequence data for which no GO annotation is yet available by integrating annotation, statistical analysis, and visualization in one application.

Why it works: The abstract states that Blast2GO joins GO annotation based on similarity searches with statistical analysis and highlighted visualization on directed acyclic graphs, allowing users to monitor and comprehend the whole annotation and analysis process.
