goMapMan
app
goMapMan is an open web-access-
ible resource for gene functional an-
notations in the plant sciences. The
core of goMapMan consists of plant
species genes (such as the model
plant arabidopsis thaliana and some
agronomically important crops),
which are described with the MapMan
ontology gene function concepts. The
inclusion of orthologue information
allows for simultaneous visualisation
of these gene annotations across
several plant species, which in turn
facilitates the time intensive manu-
al curation of these descriptions for
the end user. additionally, automatic
consolidation of gene annotations for
different plant species through use
of this orthologue group information
is implemented. integration of ex-
ternal knowledge about genes from
publically available resources and the www.gomapman.org
provided exports for high-throughput
data analysis tools advance our un-
derstanding of how plants globally re-
spond to various external stimuli, e.g.
drought or plant pathogen infection.
