WikiGOA: Gene set enrichment analysis based on Wikipedia and the Gene Ontology

O_LIGene sets curated to Gene Ontology terms are widely used by the transcriptomics community C_LIO_LIPresence in Wikipedia is a common proxy for the relevance of a concept. C_LIO_LIIn this work, we describe the use of Wikidata to generate a dataset comprising only gene sets with a corresponding Wikipedia page. C_LIO_LIWe refer to the dataset as "WikiGOA", standing for "Wikipedia Gene Ontology Annotations" C_LIO_LIWe use the dataset to analyze gene expression data and show that it provides readily understandable results. C_LIO_LIWe envision WikiGOA to be useful for exploring complex biological datasets both in academic research and educational contexts.

This was done to clarify statements and assumptions, simplify reading and pave the way for conversion to structured formats (e.g., nanopublications). [1]
