NeXO Web is an integrated ontology visualization application for modern web platforms that provides a new way to visualize ontology data sets like the Gene Ontology and NeXO using modern web technologies. It integrates multi-omics data into a HTML5-based single page application and is open for future expansion. NeXO Web allows users to visualize ontologies, search and enrich terms, view analysis windows, ontology trees, raw interactions, and term details.

NeXO (Network eXtracted Ontology) is a data-driven gene ontology inferred directly from
‘omics data. The NeXO Web application is designed to visualize the NeXO data sets and
existing ontologies, such as GO, utilizing modern web technologies.
