Simple Enrichment Tool for Analysis

<p>Cytoscape is a highly popular open source bioinformatics software platform for visualizing, analyzing, and publishing graphs or networks representing molecular interactions, gene expression, and other biological data. As a desktop platform, Cytoscape is one of the most successful open source projects in biology, and it is capable of integrating observational data from numerous sources.</p> <p>Currently, when users are working with a network of connected genes or proteins, they have to use external web tools to perform simple enrichment analyses, e.g., using g:Profiler. However, g:Profiler provides a web service interface, so it would be relatively simple to provide access to this same service from within Cytoscape. More advanced tools for enrichment already exist as Cytoscape apps, such as BiNGO and ClueGO. The goal to produce an app that could eventually be included in the core distribution of Cytoscape.</p>
