Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have typically focused on the analysis of single
markers, which often lacks the power to uncover the relatively small effect sizes conferred by …

Whole genome expression microarrays can be used to study gene expression in blood,
which comes in part from leukocytes, immature platelets, and red blood cells. Since these …

Background Once a list of differentially expressed genes has been identified from a
microarray experiment, a subsequent post-analysis task is required in order to find the main …

FungiFun assigns functional annotations to fungal genes or proteins and performs gene set
enrichment analysis. Based on three different classification methods (FunCat, GO and …

Wnt proteins are critical to mammalian brain development and function. The canonical Wnt
signaling pathway involves the stabilization and nuclear translocation of β-catenin; however …

Background Although expression microarrays have become a standard tool used by
biologists, analysis of data produced by microarray experiments may still present …

Background The fasting-refeeding perturbation has been used extensively to reveal specific
genes and metabolic pathways that control energy metabolism in the chicken. Most global …

What are the commonalities between genes, whose expression level is partially controlled
by eQTL, especially with regard to biological functions? Moreover, how are these genes …

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disorder, known to have a
strong genetic component. Concordance between monozygotic twins is approximately 30 …

Background As presented in the introduction paper, three sets of differentially regulated
genes were found after the analysis of the chicken infection data set from EADGENE …
