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

Identification of Multiple Loci Associated with Social Parasitism in Honeybees
TL;DR: The genome variation in a sample of Cape bees is compared with other African populations and several regions of the genome with extreme differentiation are identified, indicating that increased levels of positive selection have produced the unique set of derived phenotypic traits in this subspecies.

TL;DR: The results confirm the existence of a muscle dependent transcription and coexpression pattern and suggest the necessity of integrating different muscle types to perform comprehensive networks for the transcriptional landscape of bovine skeletal muscle.

HER2+ Cancer Cell Dependence on PI3K vs. MAPK Signaling Axes Is Determined by Expression of EGFR, ERBB3 and CDKN1B
Daniel C. Kirouac,Jinyan Du,Johanna Lahdenranta,Matthew Onsum,Ulrik B. Nielsen,Birgit Schoeberl,Charlotte Mcdonagh +6 more
TL;DR: The results show a single oncogenic transformation can have differing effects on cell signaling and growth, contingent upon the molecular and cellular context, and measurement of this minimal set of three protein biomarkers could thus inform treatment, and predict mechanisms of drug resistance in HER2+ cancers.

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.
