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.

A statistical perspective of gene set analysis with trait-specific QTL in molecular crop breeding

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors discuss various aspects of the GSA with QTLs, such as null hypothesis, sampling model, and nature of the test statistic, for interpreting high-throughput GE data in context of gene sets with the traits.

Evaluating the Robustness of Correlation Network Analysis in the Aging Mouse Hypothalamus

TL;DR: This research compares the original gateway nodes analysis approach with manipulation in (1) network creation and clustering analysis to test the consistency of structural results in the correlation network, and calls for stronger studies in benchmarking and reproducibility in biomedical “big” data analyses.

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.
