DIAMOND2GO (D2GO) is a new toolset to rapidly assign Gene Ontology (GO) terms to genes or proteins based on sequence similarity searches. D2GO uses DIAMOND for alignment, which is 100 - 20,000 X faster than BLAST. D2GO leverages GO- terms already assigned to sequences in the NCBI non-redundant database to achieve rapid GO-term assignment on large sets of query sequences. In one test, 98% of the 130,184 predicted human proteins and splice variants were assigned GO-terms (>2 million in total) in < 13 minutes on a laptop computer. D2GO also features the ability to perform enrichment analysis between subsets of data, thereby allowing rapid assignment and detection of over-represented GO-terms in novel sets of sequences.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
