A common approach is to sort genes
by gene ontology (GO)[9] category and speculate on their likely function, involvement in potential pathways, and reasons for being under selection.
Additional predicted gene targets were verified to bind Oct4 in situ, and targets were found to be enriched in several developmental and molecular processes
by gene ontology analysis.

In this study,
genes identified as differentially expressed
by SAM analysis were examined for their biologic association to the
gene ontology (GO) categories [34] as defined
by the GO Consortium [33].
Many of the model organism databases (MODs) used
by members of the GSA community — including FlyBase, WormBase, SGD, ZFIN, and MGI — have been supported
by NIH's National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), along with others supporting human and other research — such as OMIM, the
Gene Ontology Consortium, and UniProt.
