SemFunSim : a new method for measuring disease similarity by integrating semantic and gene functional association by Cheng, Liang, Li, Jie, Ju, Peng, Peng, Jiajie, Wang, Yadong

“…Results The high average AUC (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve) (96.37%) shows that SemFunSim achieves a high true positive rate and a low false positive rate. 79 of the top 100 pairs of similar diseases identified by SemFunSim are annotated in the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) as being targeted by the same therapeutic compounds, while other methods we compared could identify 35 or less such pairs among the top 100. …”

Identification of Southeast Asian Anopheles mosquito species with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry using a cross-correlation approach by Chaumeau, V, Sawasdichai, S, Min, TZMMM, Kularbkeeree, T, Jaruwan, N, Gloria, N, Lee, NY, Trackoolchengkaew, M, Phanaphadungtham, M, Rongthong, P, Inta, A, Watthanaworawit, W, Nosten, F

“…A simulation experiment was carried out by querying the reference database with the spectra of the test panel to evaluate the performance of species identification with MALDI–TOF MS at varying thresholds of the cross-correlation index for the algorithm to output an identification result and with varying numbers of technical replicates for the tested specimens, considering PCR identification results as the reference. Results: With one spot and a threshold value of −14 for the cross-correlation index on the log scale, the sensitivity was 0.99 [95% credible interval (CrI): 0.98–1.00], the predictive positive value was 0.99 (95% CrI: 0.98–0.99), and the accuracy was 0.98 (95% CrI: 0.97–0.99). …”
