The Gene Ontology (GO; http://www.geneontology.org) is a community-based bioinformatics resource that supplies information about gene product function using ontologies to represent biological knowledge. Here we describe improvements and expansions to...
UNLABELLED: Gene prioritization refers to a family of computational techniques for inferring disease genes through a set of training genes and carefully chosen similarity criteria. Test genes are scored based on their average similarity to the traini...
SUMMARY: Disease ontology (DO) annotates human genes in the context of disease. DO is important annotation in translating molecular findings from high-throughput data to clinical relevance. DOSE is an R package providing semantic similarity computati...
As the amount of genome information increases rapidly, there is a correspondingly greater need for methods that provide accurate and automated annotation of gene function. For example, many high-throughput technologies--e.g., next-generation sequenci...
This paper considers microarray gene expression data clustering using a novel two stage meta-heuristic algorithm based on the concept of α-planes in general type-2 fuzzy sets. The main aim of this research is to present a powerful data clustering app...

Since its first publication in 2003, the Gene Set Enrichment Analysis method, based on the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic, has been heavily used, modified, and also questioned. Recently a simplified approach using a one-sample t-test score to assess en...
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a systemic autoimmune disease often leading to rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. Oxidative stress plays a critical role in the development and progression of ANCA-associ...
BACKGROUND: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), superseding juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting children and characterized by various types of childhood arthritis. JIA manifests clinically with joint inflam...
The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has risen significantly in recent years, while current diagnostic and therapeutic approaches remain suboptimal. This study aimed to identify novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets to improve early det...
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the main cause of end‑stage renal disease, with epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) serving a key role in its initiation and progression. Nevertheless, the precise mechanisms involved remain unidentified. The present ...
