Revealing the over-represented functions in a particular gene list is a particular important post-genomic challenge. Genome-wide investigations generate gene lists from which meaningful information has to be extracted. This information is key to orient in planta investigations and to define the biological significance of genome-wide reprogramming. Here we describe the development and use of the GeneCloud algorithm, which retrieves the over-represented semantic terms in the description of a gene list.
