VLAD - VisuaL Annotation Display

VLAD is a tool for visualizing GO annotations. The annotation data are a subset of those available at the GO web site. You specify an annotation data set and a set of genes, and the tool will produce a graphical summary of the annotations.

You can now specify your own universe set. See below.

Run name:
  • Provides a title for your output.
    (Timestamps are included automatically.)
Vocabularies: Biological Process
Molecular Function
Cellular Component
  • Selects which GO ontologies to show.
  • At least one required.
Annotation Set:
  • Selects annotation database to use.
  • Required.
Evidence Codes
to Exclude:
IC IDA IEA
IGI IMP IPI
ISS NAS ND
RCA TAS  
  • Annotations with specified evidence codes are remove before processing.
  • "NOT" annotations (e.g., Gene Abc does NOT have function f) are always removed.
  • IC=Inferred by curator; IDA=Inferred from direct assay; IEA=Inferred from electronic annotation; IGI=Inferred from genetic interaction; IMP=Inferred from mutant phenotype; IPI=Inferred from physical interaction; ISS=Inferred from sequence or structural similarity; NAS=Non-traceable author statement; ND=No biological data available; RCA=Reviewed computational analysis; TAS=Traceable author statement
Query Set:
Upload file of symbols/IDs:
  • Specifies query set, i.e., your genes of interest.
  • Enter gene symbols and/or IDs into textarea or upload file.
  • Required.
Universe Set:
Upload file of symbols/IDs:
  • Defines base set of genes to compare against.
  • Leave empty to specify all genes in database (the default).
  • Otherwise, enter gene symbols and/or IDs into text area or upload file.
Scoring:
P-values   Percentages
  • Specifies scoring method.
  • Choose "Percentages" to get overview of the query set.
  • Choose "P-values" to compare query set against universe.
Display Settings:
Generate graphical display.
Generate tabular display.
Pruning threshold.
Collapsing threshold. 		Region(s) of interest:
(Enter one or more GO ids.)
  • Controls which portions of the output are shown and how they are drawn.
  • Lower the pruning threshold to include more nodes. (0 = nothing pruned)
  • Lower the collapsing threshold to draw more nodes in expanded form. (0 = everything expanded)
  • Region of interest (optional). One or more GO ids. If specified, only shows those nodes that are not pruned by score AND are descendants of ROI nodes.
