— With the invention of high throughput methods, researchers are capable of producing large amounts of biological data. During the analysis of such data, the need for a functiona...
The Gene Ontology (GO) project (http://www.gene ontology.org/) provides a set of structured, controlled vocabularies for community use in annotating genes, gene products and seque...
Background: In studies that use DNA arrays to assess changes in gene expression, our goal is to evaluate the statistical significance of treatments on sets of genes. Genes can be ...
We propose a new method for measuring the semantic similarity of genes based on path length between their annotation terms in the Gene Ontology. Our method applies an exponential ...
Background: Text mining has spurred huge interest in the domain of biology. The goal of the BioCreAtIvE exercise was to evaluate the performance of current text mining systems. We...
