GeneTrail's statistics module includes a novel dynamic-programming algorithm that improves the P-value computation of GSEA methods considerably and is freely accessible at http://genetrail.uni-sb.de.
Abstract
We present a comprehensive and efficient gene set analysis tool, called 'GeneTrail' that offers a rich functionality and is easy to use. Our web-based application facilitates the statistical evaluation of high-throughput genomic or proteomic data sets with respect to enrichment of functional categories. GeneTrail covers a wide variety of biological categories and pathways, among others KEGG, TRANSPATH, TRANSFAC, and GO. Our web server provides two common statistical approaches, 'Over-Representation Analysis' (ORA) comparing a reference set of genes to a test set, and 'Gene Set Enrichment Analysis' (GSEA) scoring sorted lists of genes. Besides other newly developed features, GeneTrail's statistics module includes a novel dynamic-programming algorithm that improves the P-value computation of GSEA methods considerably. GeneTrail is freely accessible at http://genetrail.bioinf.uni-sb.de.

Loss of Function of Arabidopsis C-Terminal Domain Phosphatase-Like1 Activates Iron Deficiency Responses at the Transcriptional Level

TL;DR: It is proposed that the cpl1 mutations enhance Fe deficiency signaling and promote cross talk with a branch of the osmotic stress/ABA signaling pathway.

Unraveling transcriptional regulatory programs by integrative analysis of microarray and transcription factor binding data

TL;DR: A new methodology that integrates microarray and TF binding data for unraveling transcriptional regulatory networks based on a two-stage constrained matrix decomposition model that identifies biologically more meaningful transcriptional modules relating to specific TFs.

Genetic and transcriptional analysis of human host response to healthy gut microbiota.

TL;DR: A novel experimental system is described to define the transcriptional response induced by the microbiota for human cells and to shed light on the molecular mechanisms underlying host-gut microbiota interactions that can be used to identify putative mechanisms for the interplay between host genetics and the microbiota in health and disease.

Predicting Gene Ontology Function of Human MicroRNAs by Integrating Multiple Networks.

TL;DR: An integrated model, PmiRGO, is proposed to infer the gene ontology (GO) functions of mi RNAs by integrating multiple data sources, including the expression profiles of miRNAs, miRNA-target interactions, and protein-protein interactions (PPI).

InCroMAP: Integrated analysis of Cross-platform MicroArray and Pathway data

TL;DR: The available features of InCroMAP range from visualization of DNA methylation data over annotation of microRNA targets and integrated gene set enrichment analysis to a joint visualization of data from all platforms in the context of metabolic or signalling pathways.

Controlling the false discovery rate: a practical and powerful approach to multiple testing

TL;DR: In this paper, a different approach to problems of multiple significance testing is presented, which calls for controlling the expected proportion of falsely rejected hypotheses -the false discovery rate, which is equivalent to the FWER when all hypotheses are true but is smaller otherwise.

Gene Ontology: tool for the unification of biology

TL;DR: 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.

NCBI Reference Sequence (RefSeq): a curated non-redundant sequence database of genomes, transcripts and proteins

TL;DR: The National Center for Biotechnology Information Reference Sequence (RefSeq) database provides a non-redundant collection of sequences representing genomic data, transcripts and proteins that pragmatically includes sequence data that are currently publicly available in the archival databases.
