TLDR
GOrilla is a web-based application that identifies enriched GO terms in ranked lists of genes, without requiring the user to provide explicit target and background sets, and its unique features and advantages over other threshold free enrichment tools include rigorous statistics, fast running time and an effective graphical representation.Abstract:
Since the inception of the GO annotation project, a variety of tools have been developed that support exploring and searching the GO database In particular, a variety of tools that perform GO enrichment analysis are currently available Most of these tools require as input a target set of genes and a background set and seek enrichment in the target set compared to the background set A few tools also exist that support analyzing ranked lists The latter typically rely on simulations or on union-bound correction for assigning statistical significance to the results GOrilla is a web-based application that identifies enriched GO terms in ranked lists of genes, without requiring the user to provide explicit target and background sets This is particularly useful in many typical cases where genomic data may be naturally represented as a ranked list of genes (eg by level of expression or of differential expression) GOrilla employs a flexible threshold statistical approach to discover GO terms that are significantly enriched at the top of a ranked gene list Building on a complete theoretical characterization of the underlying distribution, called mHG, GOrilla computes an exact p-value for the observed enrichment, taking threshold multiple testing into account without the need for simulations This enables rigorous statistical analysis of thousand of genes and thousands of GO terms in order of seconds The output of the enrichment analysis is visualized as a hierarchical structure, providing a clear view of the relations between enriched GO terms GOrilla is an efficient GO analysis tool with unique features that make a useful addition to the existing repertoire of GO enrichment tools GOrilla's unique features and advantages over other threshold free enrichment tools include rigorous statistics, fast running time and an effective graphical representation GOrilla is publicly available at: http://cbl-gorillacstechnionacilread more

TL;DR: The data illustrate that symptom-free DENV infection in children is associated with increased activation of the adaptive immune compartment and proper control mechanisms, leading to elimination of viral infection without excessive immune activation, with implications for novel vaccine development strategies.

TL;DR: DNA microarray analysis on primary breast tumours of 117 young patients is used and supervised classification is applied to identify a gene expression signature strongly predictive of a short interval to distant metastases (‘poor prognosis’ signature) in patients without tumour cells in local lymph nodes at diagnosis, providing a strategy to select patients who would benefit from adjuvant therapy.
