The second type is a set of broad GO terms used to aggregate the GO into large bins used for the representation of annotation data.
A GO slim is a set of broad GO terms used to provide a summary of the GO annotations for genes in a data set [ e.g., by the GO Term Mapper tool (http://go.princeton.edu/cgi-bin/GOTermMapper)].
Most note, in general terms, that the bailout represents a set of "broad powers" that will be granted to the Department of the Treasury.
We used a set of GO terms that categorize genes into broad functional categories, the GO slim terms from the Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD) [ 24].
In a seminal information retrieval paper Bates described a set of techniques termed 'berrypicking' [ 16], where follow up of initial searching against a broad topic leads to further ideas and directions.
The full GO contains thousands of specific terms while the GO Slim is a reduced set of broader higher level terms that is easier to represent graphically.
000000752 Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) is a broad term comprising a set of lung diseases, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) and others [ 1].
We decided to use a broader set of search terms capturing more pancreatitis-related events, especially those associated with chronic pancreatitis and its complications (Fig. 3), and to allow all sulfonylurea compounds to be analyzed as control medications (not just glipizide as described by Elashoff et al. [ 3]).
Textpresso provides indexing of text (including full-text articles and pdfs) using a broad set of terms organized into biological categories, including incorporation of terms from existing ontologies, such as the Gene Ontology.
The second phase of GO analysis incorporated the use of BLAST2GO (B2G) tools on the SFG results for further mapping, annotation and in particular, the use of GoSlim, which employs a reduced set of GO terms to provide a broad overview of the GO content which were used to identify posttranslational modification enzymes.
