Gene Ontology visualisation webservice in 2017

Question

[Charles Plessy]

Hi Biostars,

GOrilla is old (latest NEWS, 2013), REVIGO is down [edit: it is up again], g:Profiler is great but does not seem to have fancy graphics. My searches in DuckDuckGo / Google did not lead me to find good replacements to produce eye-catching figures like with GOrilla and REVIGO.

Despite this is a good examples on how one should avoid web services, I am looking for one.

Any suggestion ?

Why not use an R package ? Maybe have a go (!) at GOsummaries.

[Charles Plessy]

In the long term I would prefer R packages, but in the short term it is better to have something that does not require to install R and to support and be expert in 3 different platforms (Win/Max/*nix) when supporting a diverse audience. But I would definitely prefer a website that is backed up with a R package that can also be used stand-alone.

[Jean-Karim Heriche]

You could set it up as a web service with Shiny.

[Charles Plessy]

Good idea. I just need to find someone to do it :)

REVIGO is up, at least for me. You can use web tools like 'isitdownorjustme' http://isitdownorjust.me/revigo-irb-hr/ to check before you post.

Glad that it is back and not 503 like a few hours ago !

If you 'just' care about the ontology, you can als use the Ontology Lookup Service . In general, there are a couple of options.

Did you look at Panther? http://www.pantherdb.org/

[Charles Plessy]

I do not find striking visualisation tools in PANTHER.

edit: to be fair to PANTHER, it works well and does offer graphical visualisation. But not as advanced as the treemap in REVIGO or the network in GOrilla.

Any suggestions on how to graphically represent PANTHER results.
