GO:: TermFinder comprises a set of object-oriented Perl modules for accessing Gene
Ontology (GO) information and evaluating and visualizing the collective annotation of a list of
genes to GO terms. It can be used to draw conclusions from microarray and other biological
data, calculating the statistical significance of each annotation. GO:: TermFinder can be used

Abstract
Summary: GO::TermFinder comprises a set of object-oriented Perl modules for accessing Gene Ontology (GO) information and evaluating and visualizing the collective annotation of a list of genes to GO terms. It can be used to draw conclusions from microarray and other biological data, calculating the statistical significance of each annotation. GO::TermFinder can be used on any system on which Perl can be run, either as a command line application, in single or batch mode, or as a web-based CGI script.
