Analysis of small-sample clinical genomics studies using multi-parameter shrinkage: application to high-throughput RNA interference screening
High-throughput (HT) RNA interference (RNAi) screens are increasingly used for reverse genetics and drug discovery. These experiments are laborious and costly, hence sample sizes are often very small. Powerful...

Key genes for modulating information flow play a temporal role as breast tumor coexpression networks are dynamically rewired by letrozole
Genes do not act in isolation but instead as part of complex regulatory networks. To understand how breast tumors adapt to the presence of the drug letrozole, at the molecular level, it is necessary to conside...

Compensating for literature annotation bias when predicting novel drug-disease relationships through Medical Subject Heading Over-representation Profile (MeSHOP) similarity
Using annotations to the articles in MEDLINE®/PubMed®, over six thousand chemical compounds with pharmacological actions have been tracked since 1996. Medical Subject Heading Over-representation Profiles (MeSHOPs...

Curation-free biomodules mechanisms in prostate cancer predict recurrent disease
Gene expression-based prostate cancer gene signatures of poor prognosis are hampered by lack of gene feature reproducibility and a lack of understandability of their function. Molecular pathway-level mechanism...

Diplotyper: diplotype-based association analysis
It was previously reported that an association analysis based on haplotype clusters increased power over single-locus tests, and that another association test based on diplotype trend regression analysis outpe...

BioBin: a bioinformatics tool for automating the binning of rare variants using publicly available biological knowledge
With the recent decreasing cost of genome sequence data, there has been increasing interest in rare variants and methods to detect their association to disease. We developed BioBin, a flexible collapsing metho...

Altering physiological networks using drugs: steps towards personalized physiology
The rise of personalized medicine has reminded us that each patient must be treated as an individual. One factor in making treatment decisions is the physiological state of each patient, but definitions of rel...

Detecting early-warning signals of type 1 diabetes and its leading biomolecular networks by dynamical network biomarkers
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a complex disease and harmful to human health, and most of the existing biomarkers are mainly to measure the disease phenotype after the disease onset (or drastic deterioration). Until...

Identification of multiple gene-gene interactions for ordinal phenotypes
Multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) is a powerful method for analysis of gene-gene interactions and has been successfully applied to many genetic studies of complex diseases. However, the main applicati...

Integrative analysis of congenital muscular torticollis: from gene expression to clinical significance
Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is characterized by thickening and/or tightness of the unilateral sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM), ending up with torticollis. Our aim was to identify differentially expr...
