NAME

termFinderClient.pl - interactive client to find significant GO terms for a list of genes

SYNOPSIS

This program is a very simply client for the GO::TermFinder object, that prompts a user for the various pieces of information that are required to determine significant GO terms associated with the list of genes. It uses a p-value cut-off (for the corrected p-value) of .05, and simply prints the information back to the screen. An example below uses the genes : YPL250C, MET11, MXR1, MET17, SAM3, MET28, STR3, MMP1, MET1, YIL074C, MHT1, MET14, MET16, MET3, MET10, ECM17, MET2, MUP1 and MET6, which formed the so called methionine cluster from Spellman et al, 1998:
