Functional Analysis Module
The OmicsBox Functional Analysis module is a well-known comprehensive bioinformatics tool for the functional annotation.

High-Throughput Blast and InterProScan
Use CloudBlast and CloudInterProScan to perform fast sequence alignments and domain searches against reference datasets of your choice.
Gene Ontology Mapping
Link potential homologs and domains with available functional annotation from up-to-date well-curated databases from UniProt and Gene Ontology consortia.
Blast2GO Annotation
The Blast2GO methodology allows to flexibly assign most reliable functional labels to novel sequence datasets, taking into account source annotation quality and ontology hierarchies.
Enrichment Analysis
Use different enrichment analysis approaches (Fisher Exact Test and GSEA) to identify over and under represented molecular functions.
Combined Pathway Analysis
Identify Reactome and KEGG pathways for any set of sequences, use differential expression data to calculate pathway enrichment (GSEA) and a combined visualization to gain insights with ease.

Blast2GO Methodology
The well known Blast2GO annotation methodology, first published in 2005, is now part of OmicsBox. Blast2GO is the leading bioinformatics platform for the analysis of novel genomes, internationally recognized by the scientific community with over 7000+ research citations.
KEGG Combined Pathway Analysis
This tool allows to identify pathways from multiple pathway databases for any set of sequences. In combination with differential expression data the tool allows to calculate pathway enrichment. A result table allows to filter for enriched pathways with linked, differentially expressed, genes.
Workflow
Gene Ontology Annotation
This is the full Gene Ontology annotation workflow using cloud-powered algorithms (Blast, InterProScan, GO Mapping) to get the most complete annotation labels. Detailed statistics of every step are generated to summarize results. Combined graphs for the three categories (Biological Process, Molecular Function and Cellular Component) are generated including the annotations from InterProScan results. The final project contains all the data generated in every step.
