MOTIVATION: Gene Ontology (GO) terms are frequently used to score alignments between protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. Methods exist to measure GO similarity between proteins in isolation, but proteins in a network alignment are not isolate...
SUMMARY: Gene-based supervised machine learning classification models have been widely used to differentiate disease states, predict disease progression and determine effective treatment options. However, many of these classifiers are sensitive to no...
MOTIVATION: A large number of protein sequences are becoming available through the application of novel high-throughput sequencing technologies. Experimental functional characterization of these proteins is time-consuming and expensive, and is often ...
Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) play a pivotal role in numerous biological processes by modulating regulation of protein function. We have developed iPTMnet (http://proteininformationresource.org/iPTMnet) for PTM knowledge discovery, ...

Analysis of patient genomes and transcriptomes routinely recognizes new gene sets associated with human disease. Here we present an integrative natural language processing system which infers common functions for a gene set through automatic mining o...
MOTIVATION: A major cause of autosomal dominant disease is haploinsufficiency, whereby a single copy of a gene is not sufficient to maintain the normal function of the gene. A large proportion of existing methods for predicting haploinsufficiency inc...
Conformationally heterogenous or "fuzzy" proteins have often been described as lacking specificity in binding and in function. The activation domains, for example, of transcriptional activators were labeled as negative noodles, with little structure ...

Owing to the innate noise in the biological data sources, a single source or a single measure do not suffice for an effective disease gene prioritization. So, the integration of multiple data sources or aggregation of multiple measures is the need of...

Copy number variants (CNVs), including large deletions and duplications, represent an unbalanced change of DNA segments. Abundant in human genomes, CNVs contribute to a large proportion of human genetic diversity, with impact on many human phenotypes...
