A web tool for measuring gene semantic similarities by combining gene ontology and gene co-function networks
Pages 678 - 679
Abstract
Gene Ontology(GO) is one of the most popular bioinformatic resource to study functional relationships between genes. However, the existing tools for calculating the semantic similarity are limited since they only rely on GO annotations and structure. We provide a working demonstration of a web tool that calculates functional similarities between GO terms by integrating gene co-function networks and information from GO. We demonstrate the function of the web tool by comparing remote GO terms.

GOSAP: Gene Ontology-Based Semantic Alignment of Biological Pathways
We present a new method for semantic comparison of biological pathways, aiming to discover evolutionary conservation of pathways between species. Our method uses all three sub-ontologies of Gene Ontology (GO) and a measure of semantic similarity to ...
Gene Ontology analysis in multiple gene clusters under multiple hypothesis testing framework
Objective: Gene Ontology (GO) has become a routine resource for functional analysis of gene lists. Although a number of tools have been provided to identify enriched GO terms in one or two gene lists, two technical challenges remain. First, how to ...
Improving disease gene prioritization using the semantic similarity of Gene Ontology terms
Motivation: Many hereditary human diseases are polygenic, resulting from sequence alterations in multiple genes. Genomic linkage and association studies are commonly performed for identifying disease-related genes. Such studies often yield lists of ...
