Innovations and Advantages
GoFish, a genomics software tool developed at Harvard Medical School, provides methods for improved gene annotation and query of gene annotation databases. The software enables efficient analysis of large genomics data sets by allowing the user to search for genes that possess investigator-defined combinations of characteristics or, alternatively, of features that approximate those characteristics. GoFish is useful both for basic research applications (e.g., pathway analysis) and pharmacogenomics, such as to prescreen drug leads for potential cross-reactivity.
