Overview

The Plant GeneSet Enrichment Analysis Toolkit (PlantGSEA) is an online websever for gene set enrichment analysis of plant organisms developed by Zhen Su Lab in China Agricultural Unversity. We developed this to meet the increasing demands of unearthing the biological meaning from large amounts of data.

The PlantGSEA was designed to serve researchers from plant community with a user-friendly interface as well as performance-efficient frame. It has several features when comparing with other similar tools:

1.We collect totally 20,290 gene sets form different resources, such as public database, computational prediction, literature etc. which are all from plant species. These gene sets are divided into 4 categories, including GO gene sets(G1), Gene Family Based gene sets(G2), Curated gene sets(G3), Motif gene sets(G4) and Cluster gene sets (G5) which is new added.

2.The PlantGSEA toolkit cater for agricultural study based on GSEA method which is a statistical computational method to extract biological meaning from a list of differential expression genes at the level of gene sets. Besides online computational prediction, the PlantGSEA further provides tools such as gene set exploration, Gene ID conversion, hierachy analysis, etc.

  2014-12-10 "Gene Family Based" gene sets and "MicroRNA Targets" gene sets in Gossypium raimondii(Cotton) are available now!

  2014-12-01 New species Populus trichocarpa(Populus) has been included to our server. GO, Gene Family and KEGG categories are available for now.

  2014-11-20 We have improved our program by letting user to choose whether to run overlap matrix if the query gene number is more than 500.

  2013-12-16 The Christmas Day is coming, are you ready for your Christmas gifts? We wish you a Merry Christmas in advance!

  2013-11-29 We've debuged some problems of running program and we hope you will contact us if you encounter any difficulties.
