Jing’s paper WebGestalt 2017: a more comprehensive, powerful, flexible and interactive gene set enrichment analysis toolkit has been published in Nucleic Acids Research. The WebGestalt 2017 knowledge base supports 12 organisms, 324 gene identifiers from various databases and technology platforms, and 150,937 functional categories from public databases and computational analyses. Importantly, omics data with gene identifiers not supported by WebGestalt and functional categories not included in the WebGestalt database can also be uploaded for enrichment analysis. The analysis module supports Over-Representation Analysis, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis, and Network Topology-based Analysis. The input interface is simplified, the output interface allows interactive and efficient exploration, and the complete set of results can be easily downloaded. The new GOView tool makes it easy to compare multiple sets of GO enrichment results in the context of the GO directed acyclic graph (DAG).
