Background:Biological network alignment has been widely studied in the context of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks, metabolic networks and others in bioinformatics. The topological structure of networks and genomic sequence are generally used by existing methods for achieving this task.Objective and Method:Here we briefly survey the methods generally used for this task and introduce a variant with incorporation of functional annotations based on similarity in Gene Ontology (GO). Making full use of GO information is beneficial to provide insights into precise biological network alignment.Results and Conclusion:We analyze the effect of incorporation of GO information to network alignment. Finally, we make a brief summary and discuss future directions about this topic.

Multifunctional genes are important genes because of their essential roles in human cells. Studying and analyzing multifunctional genes can help understand disease mechanisms and drug discovery. We propose a computational method for scoring gene multifunctionality based on functional annotations of the target gene from the Gene Ontology. The method is based on identifying pairs of GO annotations that represent semantically different biological functions and any gene annotated with two annotations from one pair is considered multifunctional. The proposed method can be employed to identify multifunctional genes in the entire human genome using solely the GO annotations. We evaluated the proposed method in scoring multifunctionality of all human genes using four criteria: gene-disease associations; protein–protein interactions; gene studies with PubMed publications; and published known multifunctional gene sets. The evaluation results confirm the validity and reliability of the proposed method for identifying multifunctional human genes. The results across all four evaluation criteria were statistically significant in determining multifunctionality. For example, the method confirmed that multifunctional genes tend to be associated with diseases more than other genes, with significance [Formula: see text]. Moreover, consistent with all previous studies, proteins encoded by multifunctional genes, based on our method, are involved in protein–protein interactions significantly more ([Formula: see text]) than other proteins.

AbstractMotivationNumerous tools and databases exist to annotate and interpret the functions encoded in genomes (InterProScan, KEGG, GO etc.). However, analyzing and comparing functionality across a number of genomes, for example of related species, is not trivial.ResultsWe present a novel approach, for which KEGG and Gene Ontology data are imported into a Neo4j graph database and InterProScan results from several species are added. Using the Neo4j plugin for Cytoscape, users can query this database and visualize functional annotations (sub)graphs, to compare and group functional annotation across species.
