Features

GS2 provides the fastest set similarity measure for GO annotations. We can handle thousands of genes in a fraction of a second. All you have to do is provide the annotations. Interested? Try it out now.

Welcome to the GS2 system

Here at the Bioinformatics group at Rice University, we believe gene set similarity measures should be fast - very fast. GS2 is a novel measure developed to handle just this. Currently, we provide an online tool that calculates the functional similarity of large (1000+) amounts of genes in under a second. We provide a selection of GO tree versions so you can choose the one that's right for you and your research.

Annotation Links

Right now we compute similarity only on GO terms; however, it's easy to retrieve GO annotations for any gene list with the tools below.
