The Gene Ontology (GO) is typically used, the input is a set of Gene IDs, and the output of the analysis is typically a ranked list of GO concepts, each associated with a p-value.

Analyse gene expression patterns to identify sets of genes that are associated with a specific trait, condition, clinical outcome etc.
"Gene set analysis" (often used interchangeably or in an overlapping sense with "gene-set enrichment analysis") refers to the functional analysis (term enrichment) of a differentially expressed set of genes, rather than all genes analysed.
Gene sets can be defined beforehand by biological function, chromosome locations and so on.
