Bubble chart view of the GO term association. A screenshot of the bubble chart view in the resulted page. A bubble chart maps GO terms in the two dimensional space by considering their similarity in terms of two scores shown on the two axes. Score scheme to be used for each axis can be chosen by the option fields in the middle of the axis. Users can zoom in by holding down the mouse button and then dragging it to the desired area. The right panel shows GO terms that are currently visible on the chart. The example of shown here are visualization of the same set of 48 GO terms as used in Fig. 3. In this example plot, the X-axis is the Resnik semantic similarity score and the Y-axis chosen is IAS. For illustration, in this figure GO terms are colored according to their GO category, MF, blue; BP: black; and CC: green. GO terms listed in Table 1 are labelled
