The biological interpretation of gene lists with interesting shared properties, such as up- or down-regulation in a particular experiment, is typically accomplished using ontology enrichment analysis tools. Given list genes, (GO) may return hundreds statistically significant GO results "flat" list, which can be challenging to summarize. It also difficult keep pace rapidly expanding knowledge, often daily changes any the over 47,000 ontologies that describe knowledge. GOATOOLS, Python-based...

The identification of conserved syntenic regions enables discovery predicted locations for orthologous and homeologous genes, even when no such gene is present. This capability means that synteny-based methods are far more effective than sequence similarity-based in identifying true-negatives, a necessity studying loss transposition. However, the requires complex analyses which must be repeated pairwise comparisons between any two species. Therefore, as number published genomes increases,...
