GOsummaries bioconductor package, to visualise Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis results on gene lists arising from different analyses such clustering or PCA. The significant GO categories are visualised as word clouds that can be combined with different plots summarising the underlying data.

A recent publication of the Gene Ontology consortium. They try to improve taxon constraints, i.e. to better define which terms are relevant for some species but not for others (such as leukocyte-related terms that should be constrained to vertebrates.

A recent publication (2020) on gene set analysis challenges, opportunities and future research.

Tools for species other than human or mouse. Bioconductor contains “org.db” packages with genome/gene annotation for many organisms, for example for Drosophila or Arabidopsis.

For fungi, FungiDB provides identification of metabolic pathways based on list of genes
