FROM LISTS TO BIOLOGY3
●
Classical approach for gene list analysis: one
by one
– Literature, databases, ...
●
Problem:
– Slow and tedious task, and what is worst...
– Ignores possible interactions
●
Alternative approach: functional analysis (aka
biological significance)
6. 6
BENEFITS (AND DRAWBACKS)4
✔
Authomatic methods for
✔
Identification of biological processes associated with experimental
results.
✔
Determination/Comparison of common functions in selected groups
of genes.
✔
Analisys of connections between genes, molecules and/or diseases
through literature mining, in order to find relevant associations
according with experimental data.
✔
Make auxiliary information more accessible
✔
Contribute to the understanding of the underlying biological
phenomena
✗
Require more sofisticated software & hardware
✗
Depend on the degree of curation of the data sources

●
Several tools deployed in the last 15 years
http://estbioinfo.stat.ub.es/resources/index.html
●
Direct study of gene lists
– Based on GO or other BD (KEGG...)
●
fatiGO, DAVID, GSEA, Babelomics ... [SerbGO]
●
Ingenuity Pathways Analysis
●
Mining relationships from literature
– PubMed, Scopus, HighWire, GOPubMed, …
– Ingenuity Pathways Analysis
●
Analysis of pathways inferred from the lists
– Pathway Explorer, MappFinder, GenMapp ...
– Ingenuity Pathway Analysis
