Our widgets for functional genomics use Orange, a data mining
and machine learning suite. Orange can be accessed through scripting in
Python,
or by visual programming in Orange Canvas.
In functional genomics, we have also designed a web-based tool for mutant data analysis called GenePath (also featured
in Science's NetWatch).
Here we show the expression profiles of genes PIG1 (see the "Genome
Map" widget) and PCL7 to demonstrate that these genes, although
sharing the GO biological_process annotation, are not coexpressed.
Comparison of the "Expression Profiles"
and "Expression Profiles (3)"
widgets graphs confirms that adjacent position, and not the functional
relatedness, is the reason for coexpression in the case of CDC46 and
PIG1 (see the "Genome Map" widget).
