We present a novel method called Argot2 (Annotation Retrieval of Genel Ontology Terms), that is able to quickly process thousands of sequences for functional inference. The tool exploits a combined approach based on the clustering process of GO terms dependent on their semantic similarities and a weighting scheme which assesses retrieved hits sharing a certain degree of biological features with the sequence to annotate. These hits may be obtained by different methods as BLAST, HMMER and so on. In the present web server we allow users to interact with Argot2 in different ways according to specific needs and expertise.
