Gostats And Pvalue

Question

[Radhouane Aniba]

Hi everyone,

Well I have a question concerning GOstats and its pvalues. Having a gene list I made an analysis using this package and at the end I have a tabular format file with the GOBPID, GO term, enrichment Pvalue and a list of genes in that GOBPID.

Ok till now that's fine.

Now for a given gene among the list, how can I know the pvalue of the enrichment of that gene in the given GPBPID, is GOstats adequate for having that kind of information ?

Thx

See the answers and comments to this related question. Short answer: the P value is for a category, not for a single gene.
