Semantic Particularity Measure for Functional Characterization of Gene Sets Using Gene Ontology
BACKGROUND Genetic and genomic data analyses are outputting large sets of genes. Functional comparison of these gene sets is a key part of the analysis, as it identifies their shared functions, and the functions that distinguish each set. The Gene Ontology (GO) initiative provides a unified reference for analyzing the genes molecular functions, biological processes and cellular components. Nume...
متن کاملOntology-based Gene Set Enrichment Analysis Using an Efficient Semantic Similarity Measure and Functional Clustering
Gene set enrichment analysis allows to extract specific biological functions relative to a group of genes. To this aim, we propose here a novel approach for mining biological data, using the Gene Ontology (GO) as main source of genes annotation terms. Firstly, we will use our new semantic similarity measure (IntelliGO) in a clustering process, for grouping genes sharing similar biological funct...
متن کاملsimDEF: definition-based semantic similarity measure of gene ontology terms for functional similarity analysis of genes
MOTIVATION Measures of protein functional similarity are essential tools for function prediction, evaluation of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and other applications. Several existing methods perform comparisons between proteins based on the semantic similarity of their GO terms; however, these measures are highly sensitive to modifications in the topological structure of GO, tend to be fo...
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 کاملSemantic representation of Gene Ontology terms by using Gene Regulation Ontology
Gene Ontology (GO) has been developed to provide concepts for the functional annotation of biological entities. This development has already contributed to significant biomedical research results. Nonetheless, GO could have provided even stronger support to biomedical text mining, if it delivered domain-independent logical definitions of its concepts. We present a method that extracts the seman...
