Discovering similar diseases is very helpful for revealing the pathogenesis of diseases and making direction in drug use. And related diseases are often triggered by disease-related genes. Therefore, function interaction networks structured by disease-related genes are suitable for measurement of disease similarity, and some methods have utilized the advantage of function interaction of disease-related...
Taxonomic annotation is a critical first step for analysis of metagenomic data. Despite a lot of tools being developed, the accuracy is still not satisfactory, in particular, when a close species-level reference does not exist in the database. In this paper, we propose a novel annotation tool, MetaAnnotator, to annotate metagenomic reads, which outperforms all existing tools significantly when only...
Functional similarity between molecules results in similar phenotypes, such as diseases. Therefore, it is an effective way to reveal the function of molecules based on their induced diseases. However, the lack of a tool for obtaining the similarity score of pair-wise disease sets (SSDS) limits this type of application. Here, we introduce DisSetSim, an online system to solve this problem in this article...
This paper introduces a simple and effective approach to improve the accuracy of multiple sequence alignment. We use a natural measure to estimate the similarity of the input sequences, and based on this measure, we align the input sequences differently. For example, for inputs with high similarity, we consider the whole sequences and align them globally, while for those with moderately low similarity,...
Local gene network pattern (LGNP) is a useful tool to display complex relationship between multiple genes. A diabetes-specific local gene network (LGN) was constructed with 29 genes (including 9 diabetes susceptibility genes and 20 extra genes to join them) that participate in 30 biological pathways. Further analysis indicated diabetes-specific LGN has close relations with carbohydrate metabolism,...
