The input gene list can be composed of any common gene/protein identifiers used by the life science community in a mixed manner. Thanks to g:Convert running in the background the users can provide gene names mixed with protein accession numbers, probeset IDs, chromosomal locations and SNP IDs. This provides the users the freedom to analyse their results straight-away without additional manual steps of transforming their platform specific identifiers to a particular identifier type to get their first enrichment results. Since this 2019 version g:GOSt also accepts as an input the chromosomal intervals in browser extensible data (BED) file format. This makes it more straightforward to integrate g:GOSt with the annotation based browsers like UCSC Genome Browser and many DNA modification analysis tools that output BED files. All the chromosomal locations are mapped to the latest Ensembl Genome version that g:Profiler toolset is built upon. Currently we support the human genome version GRCh38.p12.
