3.24 (devel), 3.23 (release)

GOfan provides an intuitive and compact visualization of Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment results using a sunburst layout inspired by SynGO, preserving hierarchical relationships among GO terms and allowing color-based encoding of information such as p-values or gene counts. By converting complex GO DAGs into clean, circular representations, it allows researchers to quickly grasp the hierarchical structure and biological significance of enriched terms. The interactive and customizable visualizations facilitate exploration of key GO categories, enhancing interpretation and presentation of enrichment analyses.
