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...
OBJECTIVE: The main goal of this work is to measure how lexical regularities in biomedical ontology labels can be used for the automatic creation of formal relationships between classes, and to evaluate the results of applying our approach to the Gen...
The Gene Ontology Annotation (GOA) resource (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/GOA) provides evidence-based Gene Ontology (GO) annotations to proteins in the UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB). Manual annotations provided by UniProt curators are supplemented by ma...
Proteomics experiments often generate a vast amount of data. However, the simple identification and quantification of proteins from a cell proteome or subproteome is not sufficient for the full understanding of complex mechanisms occurring in the bio...
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a progressive and malignant cancer of myelogenous blood cells, which disturbs the production of normal blood cells. Although several risk and genetic factors (AML-related genes) have been investig...
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...
Biologists often need to know the set S' of genes that are the most functionally and semantically related to a given set S of genes. For determining the set S', most current gene similarity measures overlook the structural dependencies among the Gene...
UNLABELLED: Protein function prediction (PFP) is an automated function prediction method that predicts Gene Ontology (GO) annotations for a protein sequence using distantly related sequences and contextual associations of GO terms. Extended similarit...
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...
SUMMARY: Currently available and frequently used tools for annotating antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in genomes and metagenomes provide results using inconsistent nomenclature. This makes the comparison of different ARG annotation outputs challen...
