GO enrichment analysis. Non-model organism.

I have a list of differentially expressed genes and the GO terms related to them.

I don't know how to carry out GO enrichment analysis in this non-model organism as any tool I have found wants the list of gene names and the name of the species.

Is there a tool out there which will carry out the analysis with just the list of genes and their GO terms?

Most tools will allow you to upload custom annotations as long as you have a typically tabular file that lists the gene name and the corresponding GO number.

and many others.

I think this problem has been discussed before here. Try to use the search function on the Biostarts home page. I found few posts already, see here

Good luck!

I searched through them before I posted and none had a good answer and were many years old.

Annotation > Go enrichmetn and KEGG pathway enrichment are problematic for non model organism researchers. Even more problematic when most of us are PhD students suddenly involved in to transcriptomics form some reasons.
