A comprehensive, computable representation of the functional repertoire of all macromolecules encoded within the human genome is a foundational resource for biology and biomedical research. The Gene Ontology Consortium has been working towards this g...
As words can have multiple meanings that depend on sentence context, genes can have various functions that depend on the surrounding biological system. This pleiotropic nature of gene function is limited by ontologies, which annotate gene functions w...
Thousands of pathway diagrams are published each year as static figures inaccessible to computational queries and analyses. Using a combination of machine learning, optical character recognition, and manual curation, we identified 64,643 pathway figu...
Three important systems, genes, the brain, and artificial intelligence (especially deep learning) have similar goals, namely, the maximization of likelihood or minimization of cross-entropy. Animal brains have evolved through predator-prey interactio...

Accurate prioritization of potential disease genes is a fundamental challenge in biomedical research. Various algorithms have been developed to solve such problems. Inductive Matrix Completion (IMC) is one of the most reliable models for its well-est...
BACKGROUND: A large fraction of human and mouse autosomal genes are subject to random monoallelic expression (MAE), an epigenetic mechanism characterized by allele-specific gene expression that varies between clonal cell lineages. MAE is highly cell-...
BACKGROUND: Functional annotation of genes is an essential step in omics data analysis. Multiple databases and methods are currently available to summarize the functions of sets of genes into higher level representations, such as ontologies and molec...

Gene Ontology (GO) is a controlled vocabulary of terms that describe molecule function, biological roles, and cellular locations of gene products (i.e., proteins and RNAs), it hierarchically organizes more than 43,000 GO terms via the direct acyclic ...

To describe the cellular functions of proteins and genes, a potential dynamic vocabulary is Gene Ontology (GO), which comprises of three sub-ontologies namely, Biological-process, Cellular-component, and Molecular-function. It has several application...
