For gene sets, the GO Ribbon will show the functions shared between genes, but it will *not* inform on the statistical relevance (over/under representation) of such functions in the gene set. Statistical significance and bias of biological functions have to be examined through [over representation tests and enrichment analysis](/docs/go-enrichment-analysis/). + + As an example, the [GO COVID-19 page](/covid-19.html) illustrates how both the Ribbon and enrichment analysis can be used together. +## Other ways to access GO Ribbons +GO Ribbons specifically for eukaryotic cellular processes, plants, and prokaryotes are available on the [QuickGO slimming page](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/slimming){:target="blank"}, as is a FlyBase-specific ribbon. To access these, click the "Explore biology" box on the [QuickGO home page](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/). Select a ribbon in the dropdown and click the "Add terms to selection" button, then Apply. You can filter the resulting GO annotations by IDs, taxon, and more. + + +![GO Ribbons at QuickGO](/assets/GORibbonQuickGO.png) +# Technical Information ## Authorized IDs The gene IDs generally recognized within GO are the ones provided by the Model Organism Database (MODs) in their [GPI file](/docs/gene-product-information-gpi-format/).
