Aim: A similarity evaluation measure for Gene Ontology GO terms is developed.
Results:The proposed method takes into account the semantics hidden in ontologies or the term level information content, membership of term, and topology-based similarity measures. The proposed method is evaluated on positive and negative dataset of UniProt, Protein family clans and the Pearson's correlation with other existing methods.
Conclusion:The experimental results exhibited a major supremacy of the proposed method over other semantic similarity measures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
