In the output column, TREE, DAG, RANK and TAB refer respectively to tree-based output, directed acyclic graph visualization, P-value based ranking of terms, and results organized in a table. In the Ontology options column, terms listed refer to the way a gene set-GO term association can be built: ALL stands for 'all terms are taken into account (including parent terms)'; SLIM for 'mapping of the terms on a slim ontology'; LEVEL for 'fit the terms to a given depth of the ontology'; and EVID for 'filter terms according to the type of evidence which indicates how annotation has been associated to the gene'. See text for more details.
