Implemented five methods proposed by Resnik, Schlicker, Jiang, Lin and Wang respectively for estimating GO semantic similarities. Support many species, including Anopheles, Arabidopsis, Bovine, Canine, Chicken, Chimp, Coelicolor, E coli strain K12 and Sakai, Fly, Human, Malaria, Mouse, Pig, Rhesus, Rat, Worm, Xenopus, Yeast, and Zebrafish.
