Computational Biology Seminar Series

Abstract

Gene Ontology enrichment testing is widely used in the analysis of high throughput biological data. We have recently developed a new test, TreeHugger, to perform these types of enrichment tests. In this talk the new method will be introduced, in the context of the many other types of enrichment testing already extant. The pros and cons of the various methodologies will be examined. Background on high throughput biology and data analysis, as well as on the ontology will be provided.
