Abstract We have developed methods and tools based on the Gene Ontology GO resource allowing the identification of statistically over- or under-represented terms in a gene dataset the clustering of functionally related genes within a set and the retrieval of genes sharing annotations with a query gene. GO annotations can also be constrained to a slim hierarchy or a given level of the ontology. The source codes are available upon request and distributed under the GPL license. Rationale Since complete genome sequences have become available the amount of annotated genes has increased dramatically. These advances have allowed the systematic comparison of the gene content of different organisms leading to the conclusion that organisms share the majority of their genes with only relatively few species-specific genes. On this basis one can develop strategies to infer gene annotations from model species to less experimentally .
