Gene expression profiling data contains more information than is routinely extracted with standard approaches. Here we present Fold-Change-Specific Enrichment Analysis (FSEA), a new method for functional annotation of differentially expressed genes f...
BACKGROUND: Functional enrichment of genes and pathways based on Gene Ontology (GO) has been widely used to describe the results of various -omics analyses. GO terms statistically overrepresented within a set of a large number of genes are typically ...
BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) ranks as the second most frequently occurring neurodegenerative disease. The precise pathogenic mechanism of this disease remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to identify the biomarkers in PD and clas...

INTRODUCTION: To interpret metabolomic and lipidomic profiles, it is necessary to identify the metabolic reactions that connect the measured molecules. This can be achieved by putting them in the context of genome-scale metabolic network reconstructi...
Early detection of breast cancer and its correct stage determination are important for prognosis and rendering appropriate personalized clinical treatment to breast cancer patients. However, despite considerable efforts and progress, there is a need ...
Ubiquinone is an important cofactor that plays vital and diverse roles in many biological processes. Ubiquinone-binding proteins (UBPs) are receptor proteins that dock with ubiquinones. Analyzing and identifying UBPs via a computational approach will...
BACKGROUND: Risky behaviors can lead to huge economic and health losses. However, limited efforts are paid to explore the genetic mechanisms of risky behaviors.
Apart from some model organisms, the interactome of most organisms is largely unidentified. High-throughput experimental techniques to determine protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are resource intensive and highly susceptible to noise. Computational...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to use three modeling methods, logistic regression analysis, random forest analysis, and fully-connected neural network analysis, to develop a diagnostic gene signature for the diagnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia ...
Septic shock is induced by an uncontrolled inflammatory immune response to pathogens and the survival rate of patients with pediatric septic shock (PSS) is particularly low, with a mortality rate of 25‑50%. The present study explored the mechanisms o...
