Abstract

The display of ontological information has become a crucial factor over the last decade in systems biology. The possibility to compare different ontological systems in a single application has however not been answered with an appropriate application. OntoSlug is an easy to use application that tries to fill this need. OntoSlug has been developed for use in classroom settings and scientific laboratory environment.
