Understanding the function of human proteins is essential to decipher the molecular mechanisms of human diseases and phenotypes. Of the 17 470 human protein coding genes in the neXtProt 2018-01-17 database with unequivocal protein existence evidence ...
Gene ontology (GO) provides a representation of terms and categories used to describe genes and their molecular functions, cellular components and biological processes. GO has been the standard for describing the functions of specific genes in differ...
There exists a plethora of measures to evaluate functional similarity (FS) between genes, which is a widely used in many bioinformatics applications including detecting molecular pathways, identifying co-expressed genes, predicting protein-protein in...
BACKGROUND: The Gene Ontology (GO) is one of the most widely used resources in molecular and cellular biology, largely through the use of "enrichment analysis." To facilitate informed use of GO, we present GOtrack (https://gotrack.msl.ubc.ca), which ...

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...
MicroRNA regulation of key biological and developmental pathways is a rapidly expanding area of research, accompanied by vast amounts of experimental data. This data, however, is not widely available in bioinformatic resources, making it difficult fo...
Recently, many long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified and their biological function has been characterized; however, our understanding of their underlying molecular mechanisms related to disease is still limited. To overcome the limitati...
In synthetic biology, one of the key focuses is building a minimal artificial cell which can provide basic chassis for functional study. Recently, the J. Craig Venter Institute published the latest version of the minimal bacterial genome JCVI-syn3.0,...
The GO-Cellular Component (GO-CC) ontology provides a controlled vocabulary for the consistent description of the subcellular compartments or macromolecular complexes where proteins may act. Current machine learning-based methods used for the automat...
