GO-a-GO annotates Gene Ontology terms that are enriched in a given set of gene pairs. The enrichment is calculated from a permutation test for overrepresentation of gene pairs that are associated with a shared term. Such gene pairs are counted for the original set of gene pairs and compared against randomized sets in which the structure of the pairs is preserved, but the gene identities (including the associated terms) are permuted.

Differential expression analysis is commonly used to study diverse biological datasets. The reproducibility-optimized test statistic (ROTS) (Elo et al., 2008, <doi:10.1109/tcbb.2007.1078>) uses a modified t-statistic to prioritise features that differ between two or more groups. However, the ROTS Bioconductor implementation (Suomi et al., 2017, <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005562>) did not accommodate technical or biological covariates. LimROTS (Anwar et al., 2025, <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btaf570>) addressed this limitation by combining a reproducibility-optimized test statistic with the limma empirical Bayes approach (Ritchie et al., 2015, <doi:10.1093/nar/gkv007>). This enables the analysis of more complex experimental designs and the incorporation of covariates.

Biological inferences obtained from molecular data are only as good as the extent of evolutionary signatures retained in the genetic data. Techniques available to quantify these signatures are largely targeted towards phylogeny reconstruction and they often rely on adhoc hypothesis tests of significance. I present a Bayesian function that assesses whether a set of genetic sequences are saturated. That is, it is useful for determining whether the evolutionary information in the sequences has eroded with time. Site specific Bayes factors are generated with respect to codon bases to allow for straightforward applications in extensive computational biology inquiries, including natural selection analyses.
