vissE

vissE enables the interpretation and analysis of results from a gene set enrichment analysis using network-based and text-mining approaches.

Key Features:

• Similarity-based network construction: Builds a similarity-based network of significant gene sets from a gene set enrichment analysis.
• Text-mining for biological function: Investigates gene sets for their biological function using text-mining approaches.

Scientific Applications:

• Gene set enrichment analysis interpretation: Addresses the challenge of interpreting large lists of significant gene sets that result from enrichment analyses.
• Biological function investigation: Enables investigation of biological function of significant gene sets through integrated network and text-mining analysis.

Methodology:

vissE uses network-based approaches to build similarity-based networks of significant gene sets and text-mining approaches to investigate biological function.
