Gene Ontology Causal Activity Modeling (GO-CAM) moves beyond GO annotations to structured descriptions of biological functions and systems

To increase the utility of Gene Ontology (GO) annotations for interpretation of genome-wide experimental data, we have developed GO-CAM, a structured framework for linking multiple GO annotations into an integrated model of a biological system. We expect that GO-CAM will enable new applications in pathway and network analysis, as well as improve standard GO annotations for traditional GO-based applications.
