The semantic comparisons of Gene Ontology (GO) annotations provide quantitative ways to compute similarities between genes and gene groups, and have became important basis for many bioinformatics analysis approaches. `GOSemSim` is an R package for semantic similarity computation among GO terms, sets of GO terms, gene products and gene clusters. `GOSemSim` implemented five methods proposed by *Resnik*, *Schlicker*, *Jiang*, *Lin* and *Wang* respectively.
