MonaGO supports gene lists as well as GO terms as inputs. Visualisation results can be exported as high-resolution images or restored in new sessions, allowing reproducibility of the analysis. An extensive comparison between MonaGO and 11 state-of-the-art GO enrichment visualisation tools based on 9 features revealed that MonaGO is a unique platform that simultaneously allows interactive visualisation within one single output page, directly accessible through a web browser with customisable display options.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>MonaGO combines dynamic clustering and interactive visualisation as well as customisation options to assist biologists in obtaining meaningful representation of overrepresented GO terms, producing simplified outputs in an unbiased manner.
