Pick out genes based on protein function

Question

[V]

Hi All,

I have a fairly naive question. I've Identified a number of genes that come up from a ChIP-Seq experiment I've done. Out of those genes I'm only interested in transcription factors at the moment. Is there any way that using that gene list I pick out/identify only the transcription factors? The whole list is 500+ genes so doing it manually would take ages.

Any help would be much appreciated.

You could use annotations from the Gene Ontology molecular function domain assuming you're dealing with a species for which this is available.
