Product Description:
GoMiner™ is a tool for biological interpretation of 'omic' data – including data from gene expression microarrays. Omic experiments often generate lists of dozens or hundreds of genes that differ in expression between samples, raising the question “What does it all mean biologically?” To answer this question, GoMiner leverages the Gene Ontology (GO) to identify the biological processes, functions and components represented in these lists. Instead of analyzing microarray results with a gene-by-gene approach, GoMiner classifies the genes into biologically coherent categories and assesses these categories. |

| Tool Maturity Assessment:
Stable Release (Adoption in Progress) |
Installation Level:
Basic - Wizard or web browser application; minimal technical assistance required
|
Architecture Type:
Desktop Application, Web Application - Remote application with data uploads/downloads through web interface |
System Requirements:
Users can get started by connecting to the database instance we have established, or through our web application. Users have the option of installing an instance of the database locally, but that is more complex. At the most basic level, Java 1.5 is required. A web browser is needed for some features, and a few browser features also require additional plug-ins. RAM requirements are determined by the size of the datasets users wish to process. We have yet to find a dataset that does not work with 500MB of RAM allocated to GoMiner, but we have not tried to more precisely determine an experiment size/memory threshold. If users wish to install a local copy of the database, MySQL is required. |
