Formalization of Gene Ontology relationships with factor graph towards Biological Process prediction

  • 3537 Accesses

Part of the IFMBE Proceedings book series (IFMBE,volume 60)

Abstract

Gene Ontology is a hierarchical controlled vocabulary for protein annotation. Its synergy with automatic classification methods, ensemble, has been widely used for the prediction of protein functions. Current classification methods use only the relation is_a and a few little part_of to generate prediction model. In this work we formalize the GO part_of, regulates; negatively_regulates and positively_regulates relationships through predicate logic. This formalization is incorporated within an ensemble method based on graph factor called Factor Graph GO Annotation. The proposed model is validated against four model organisms for GO Biological Process prediction.

Keywords
