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.

GSKB: A gene set database for pathway analysis in mouse

TL;DR: A functional genomics knowledgebase in mouse is created, which includes 33,261 pathways and gene sets compiled from 40 sources such as Gene Ontology, KEGG, GeneSetDB, PANTHER, microRNA and transcription factor target genes, etc.

Prediction of metabolic pathways from genome-scale metabolic networks.

TL;DR: This work developed and refined an approach that predicts metabolic pathways from a global metabolic network encompassing all known reactions and their substrates/products, by extracting a subgraph connecting at best a set of seed nodes (compounds, reactions, enzymes or enzyme-coding genes).

Toward a complete in silico, multi-layered embryonic stem cell regulatory network.

TL;DR: A review of databases, algorithms, and software tools used to organize and analyze high-throughput experimental data collected to study mammalian cellular systems with a focus on ES cells is presented in this article.

Next-generation sequencing identifies altered whole blood microRNAs in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder which may permit discrimination from multiple sclerosis

TL;DR: This study identifies a set of miRNAs in whole blood, which may have the potential to discriminate NMOSD from CIS/RRMS and healthy controls and enrichment of altered miRNAAs in CD15+ neutrophils and eosinophils suggests that mi RNAs could be involved in the regulation of these cells in NMOSd.

Proviral Integration Site for Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus (PIM) Kinases Promote Human T Helper 1 Cell Differentiation

TL;DR: RNA interference results from human primary Th cells suggest that PIM kinases promote the production of IFNγ, the hallmark cytokine produced by Th1 cells, thus providing new insights into the mechanisms controlling the selective development of human Th cell subsets.

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.
