Dear, I would like to categorise a large number of sequences (100-400 bp) (about forty thousands) based on ontology (such as biological process, molecular function, cellular component). Please, could you inform me that which programme(s) in your website could be suitable for that?

Please, could you inform me that which programme(s) in your website could be suitable for that? Perhaps it is clear to others, but I'm not sure how one goes about assigning function to a sequence in the absence of anything else? Where are these sequences coming from? Can you give more detail about what sort of sequences you are talking about and what sorts of "functionality" you want to attribute to them? And by what means it is valid to do so? -steve -- Steve Lianoglou Computational Biologist Genentech

Hi, Please use reply-all to keep conversations on the bioc-list, that way you can get better help and others can also use it as a resource.

I think I'm still missing something. You've used BLAST to associate the sequence to a particular gene. Now, once you have the sequence <--> gene mapping, doing GO ontology stuff on the gene list is rather straightforward. So, is your question how to do a GO analysis with *genes* using bioconductor tools? Or do you want to have a Bioconductor tool that you can feed sequences to and have it match the organism and gene that it's coming from? Or ... ? -steve -- Steve Lianoglou Computational Biologist Genentech

Hi, My question is how to do a GO analysis with 'genes' using bioconductor tools.

OK, in this case there are several packages that you can use to do different types of GO analyses. You can browse the package available in bioconductor here: http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/BiocViews.html#___Software To make it easier to do so, the bioc-folks have enabled packages to be tagged by functionality. There is a drill-down menu on the left hand side of the page you can use to navigate these tags (aka "Views"). Dig down to: Software > Annotation > GO To filter packages that were annotated to work w/ gene ontologies. You might try to start with either GOstats or goProflies. Each package has one (or more) vignettes detailing how they are used in an analysis, which should get you started. HTH, -steve -- Steve Lianoglou Computational Biologist Genentech

Many thanks for the information.
