BiNGO

 


Current version : BiNGO 3.0.3 (compatible with Cytoscape 3.0 and above)

Notice: using default annotations and ontologies is no longer recommended for anything more than a quick-and-dirty analysis. Default annotations and ontologies date from August 2010 and will be updated irregularly. BiNGO now supports the use of annotation and ontology files downloaded from www.geneontology.org.

BiNGO :  A Biological Network Gene Ontology tool.

 

BiNGO is a Java-based tool to determine which Gene Ontology (GO) categories are statistically overrepresented in a set of genes or a subgraph of a biological network. BiNGO is implemented as a plugin for Cytoscape, which is a an open source bioinformatics software platform for visualizing and integrating molecular interaction networks. BiNGO maps the predominant functional themes of a given gene set on the GO hierarchy, and outputs this mapping as a Cytoscape graph. Gene sets can either be selected or computed from a Cytoscape network (as subgraphs) or compiled from sources other than Cytoscape (e.g. a list of genes that are significantly upregulated in a microarray experiment). The main advantage of BiNGO over other GO tools is the fact that it can be used directly and interactively on molecular interaction graphs. Another plus is that BiNGO takes full advantage of Cytoscape's versatile visualization environment. This allows you to produce customized high-quality figures.

Features include :

  1. •assessing overrepresentation or underrepresentation of GO categories

  2. •Graph or gene list input

  3. •batch mode : analyze several clusters simultaneously using same settings

  4. •Different GO and GOSlim ontologies

  5. •Wide range of organisms

  6. •Evidence code filtering

  7. •Hypergeometric or binomial test for overrepresentation

  8. •Multiple testing correction using Bonferroni (FWER) or Benjamini&Hochberg (FDR) correction

  9. •Interactive visualization of results mapped on the GO hierarchy. 

  10. •extensive results in tab-delimited text file format

  11. •make and use custom annotations, ontologies and reference sets

  12. •open source
