Gene Ontology (GO) Survey

Attention GO users!!  The Gene Ontology Consortium would love to hear your feedback about GO.  Please assist the GO project by completing a short survey. The results will help us learn more about how you use GO, how GO can serve your research needs better, and will aid in preparation for the upcoming GO grant renewal. Surveys completed by November 15th 2015 will be eligible for a prize drawing for a $400 Apple Store voucher.  Thanks in advance for your time!

New Textpresso for OMIM!

The Textpresso project serves the biomedical research community by providing full text searches of the C. elegans published literature, as well as other model organism literatures.  Recently Textpresso for Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), was developed, this contains approximately 25,000 entries from OMIM. The entries are separated into their various fields: eg., clinical synopsis (CS), number (NO), references (RF), creation date (CD), etc. One can use Textpresso search capabilities to search for various diseases, genes, etc. within OMIM entries.  An intersection of these searches can be created with various categories that are integrated as part of Textpresso, for a more refined targeted search.  Those categories are: gene ontology (GO), sequence ontology (SO), human anatomy (UBERON) and human phenotype ontology (HPO). Entries are downloaded from the OMIM website and updated for Textpresso weekly.
