GO_similarity {simplifyEnrichment} | R Documentation

## Calculate Gene Ontology (GO) semantic similarity matrix

### Description

Calculate Gene Ontology (GO) semantic similarity matrix

### Usage

    GO_similarity(go_id, ont = NULL, db = 'org.Hs.eg.db', measure = "Rel")

### Arguments

`go_id` | A vector of GO IDs.
`ont` | GO ontology. Value should be one of "BP", "CC" or "MF". If it is not specified, the function automatically identifies it by random sampling 10 IDs from `go_id` (see `guess_ont`).
`db` | Annotation database. It should be from https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.10/BiocViews.html#___OrgDb
`measure` | Semantic measure for the GO similarity, pass to `termSim`.

### Details

This function is basically a wrapper on `termSim`.

### Value

A symmetric matrix.

### Examples

    go_id = random_GO(100)
    mat = GO_similarity(go_id)
