Wormmart Question

Hi, all.
When I access Gene Ontology Summary for term: GO:0008152 , I can’t get the gene list (4209 genes)
There is a hyperlink to get the list, but It didn’t happen anything after I click on them. :-[

I really need to get these gene’s name (metabolic process), How could I get them???

You mean the list on the ontology browser and not WormMart ? Because querying for GO:0008152 / live C.elegans genes using WormMart seems to work. At least it returns 562 C.elegans / 551 C.briggsae genes with GO:0008152 based on WS185.
The only issue is, that WormMart does not have the option to filter C.remanei genes.

You could also use the old WQL search, but then you might miss any genes where only child terms of GO:0008152 were annotated.
Like:
find Gene where Go_term = “GO:0008152” AND Species=“Caenorhabditis elegans”
which returns 546 C.elegans genes
find Gene where Go_term = “GO:0008152” AND Species=“Caenorhabditis briggsae”
finds 541 genes and
find Gene where Go_term = “GO:0008152” AND Species=“Caenorhabditis remanei”
finds 584 genes.

the child terms are also probably the reason why 4000 genes are shown on the GO-Browser and not 1600 … I hope.

We’ll be adding direct links to WormMart from the ontology pages soon, too.

This will make it much easier (and even possible!) to retrieve very large lists of terms.
