Abstract
There exist few simple and easily accessible methods to integrate ontologies programmatically in the R environment. We present ontoCAT-an R package to access ontologies in widely used standard formats, stored locally in the filesystem or available online. The ontoCAT package supports a number of traversal and search functions on a single ontology, as well as searching for ontology terms across multiple ontologies and in major ontology repositories. The package and sources are freely available in Bioconductor starting from version 2.8: http://bioconductor.org/help/bioc-views/release/bioc/html/ontoCAT.html or via the OntoCAT website http://www.ontocat.org/wiki/r. natalja@ebi.ac.uk; natalja@ebi.ac.uk.
