A novel insight into Gene Ontology semantic similarity.
Existing methods for computing the semantic similarity between Gene Ontology (GO) terms are often based on external datasets and, therefore are not intrinsic to GO. Furthermore, they not only fail to handle identical annotations but also show a strong bias toward well-annotated proteins when being used for measuring similarity of proteins. Inspired by the concept of cellular differentiation and...
متن کاملMeasuring semantic similarity between Gene Ontology terms
Many bioinformatics applications would benefit from comparing proteins based on their biological role rather than their sequence. This manuscript adds two new contributions. First, a study of the correlation between Gene Ontology (GO) terms and family similarity demonstrates that protein families constitute an appropriate baseline for validating GO similarity. Secondly, we introduce GraSM, a no...
متن کاملGene Ontology-based Semantic Similarity Measures
Quantitative measure of functional similarity between gene products is important for post-genomics study. The similarity measures may be used to validate high-throughput protein interaction data, help the development of new pathway modelling tools and clustering methods, and enable the identification of functionally related gene products independent of homology [Guo et al., 2006, Schlicker et a...
متن کاملA Study On Semantic Similarity Of Gene Ontology Using Clustering
Gene Ontology is structured as a directed acyclic graph, and each expression has distinct interaction to one or more other terms in the same domain and sometimes to other domains. High throughput techniques have become a primary approach to gathering biological data. These data can be used to explore relationships between genes and to identify disease. Clustering is a common methodology for the...
متن کاملSemantic Similarity Measures as Tools for Exploring the Gene Ontology
Many bioinformatics resources hold data in the form of sequences. Often this sequence data is associated with a large amount of annotation. In many cases this data has been hard to model, and has been represented as scientific natural language, which is not readily computationally amenable. The development of the Gene Ontology provides us with a more accessible representation of some of this da...
