agriGO no longer available?

In the last few weeks I have been using agriGO to perform GO enrichment analysis on a non-model organism dataset. In the last week or so I've noticed that the website hosting it is down. I know it is not just my connection since https://isitup.org/bioinfo.cau.edu.cn also shows that is is down. Does anyone know what the status of agriGO is? If it will come back online or if there is a mirror?

Alternatively, I'm looking for a similar service that I could supply a background list of GO terms, and a regulated list of GO terms to perform enrichment analysis of.

I guess they turned off agriGO v1 (yours, paper from 2010) and left only agriGO v2 (paper from 2017) up? http://systemsbiology.cau.edu.cn/agriGOv2/

Especially for GO annotation I would always use the newest data possible - see for example https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-23395-2

Thank you! Seems like Google was still pointing me to v1

For me the version2 page doesn't load either... anyone else have this problem? Any clue?

Thanks

Just contacted the senior author of AgriGo Prof Zhen Su and version 1 is working again. He also said version 2 will be available again soon so watch this space

Neither version is now working ... just another example of the sad state of bioinformatics.

I can really fault the authors - it is the funding that has little "respect" for keeping things running.
