A novel method to quantify gene set functional association based on gene ontology.
Numerous gene sets have been used as molecular signatures for exploring the genetic basis of complex disorders. These gene sets are distinct but related to each other in many cases; therefore, efforts have been made to compare gene sets for studies such as those evaluating the reproducibility of different experiments. Comparison in terms of biological function has been demonstrated to be helpfu...
متن کاملFunctional-Network-Based Gene Set Analysis Using Gene-Ontology
To account for the functional non-equivalence among a set of genes within a biological pathway when performing gene set analysis, we introduce GOGANPA, a network-based gene set analysis method, which up-weights genes with functions relevant to the gene set of interest. The genes are weighted according to its degree within a genome-scale functional network constructed using the functional annota...
متن کاملQuantitative set analysis for gene expression: a method to quantify gene set differential expression including gene-gene correlations
Enrichment analysis of gene sets is a popular approach that provides a functional interpretation of genome-wide expression data. Existing tests are affected by inter-gene correlations, resulting in a high Type I error. The most widely used test, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis, relies on computationally intensive permutations of sample labels to generate a null distribution that preserves gene-gen...
متن کاملA New Method to Measure the Functional Similarity of Gene Products based on Gene Ontology
We present in this paper novel techniques that determine the semantic relationships among genes and gene products. We implemented these techniques in a middleware system called GOtoGene, which resides between user application and Gene Ontology database. Given a set S of genes, GOtoGene would return another set S of genes, where each gene in S is semantically related to each gene in S . The ...
متن کاملA Path Length Based Method for Finding Functional Gene Similarity Using Gene Ontology
The size and volumes of genomic data resulting from the various genome projects are extremely huge and increasing in very high rates. Finding gene groups with similar functions is one of the most important tasks in bioinformatics. In this paper, we present a novel technique for estimating gene functional similarity using Gene Ontology (GO) annotations. GO is considered the most comprehensive re...
