Sophisticated genomic navigation strongly benefits from a capacity to establish a similarity metric among genes. GeneDecks is a novel analysis tool that provides such a metric by highlighting shared descriptors between pairs of genes, based on the rich annotation within the GeneCards compendium of human genes. The current implementation addresses information about pathways, protein domains, Gene Ontology (GO) terms, mouse phenotypes, mRNA expression patterns, disorders, drug relationships, and…

Judging the quality of gene expression-based clustering methods using gene annotation.

It is concluded that enrichment of clusters for biological function is, in general, highest at rather low cluster numbers, and no method outperforms Euclidean distance for ratio-based measurements, or Pearson distance at the optimal choice of cluster number.

Gene Ontology: tool for the unification of biology

The goal of the Gene Ontology Consortium is to produce a dynamic, controlled vocabulary that can be applied to all eukaryotes even as knowledge of gene and protein roles in cells is accumulating and changing.

Genome-wide midrange transcription profiles reveal expression level relationships in human tissue specification

The analyses provide a novel route to infer expression profiles for presumed ancestral nodes in the tissue dendrogram, whereby de novo enhancement and diminution of gene expression go hand in hand, and highlight the importance of gene suppression events.

Gene Ontology annotation quality analysis in model eukaryotes

The GO Annotation Quality (GAQ) score is reported, a quantitative measure of GO quality that includes breadth of GO annotation, the level of detail of annotation and the type of evidence used to make the annotation.

NetAffx: Affymetrix probesets and annotations

NetAffx details and annotates probesets on Affymetrix GeneChip microarrays, and lists the probe sequences, and the consensus sequence interrogated by the probes; for the larger chip sets, interactive maps display this sequence data in genomic context.
