COMBASSOC 1.3 – Overall Significance of Multiple analysis

COMBASSOC 1.3

:: DESCRIPTION

COMBASSOC allows the user to run any number of analyses with a choice of the programs RUNGC and/or SCANASSOC and/or RUNLR, all of which analyse data from cases and controls genotyped for multiple markers. COMBASSOC combines the p values that are obtained from these analyses into a single measure of significance and then carries out sequential Monte Carlo testing to test the overall significance. All of the analysis programs used by COMBASSOC, along with their full documentation, are provided in the support programs for GENECOUNTING.

SAM 4.01 – Significance Analysis of Microarrays

SAM 4.01

:: DESCRIPTION

SAM (Significance Analysis of Microarrays) is a statistical technique for finding significant genes in a set of microarray experiments, a supervised learning software for genomic expression data mining.

The input to SAM is gene expression measurements from a set of microarray experiments, as well as a response variable from each experiment. The response variable may be a grouping like untreated, treated [either unpaired or paired], a multiclass grouping (like breast cancer, lymphoma, colon cancer, . . . ), a quantitative variable (like blood pressure) or a possibly censored survival time.

topGO 0.97 – Calculat Significance of Biological Terms from Gene Expression Data

topGO 0.97

:: DESCRIPTION

topGO (topology-based Gene Ontology scoring) is a software package for calculating the significance of biological terms from gene expression data. It implements various standard and advanced new algorithms for determining the relevance of Gene Ontology groups from microarrays. A specific feature of the advanced algorithms is the exploitation of the hierarchical graph structure of the GO annotation for coping with the large number of GO groups. Often, related biological terms are scored with a similar statistical significance. Dependencies between GO terms can be de-correlated by accounting for the neighborhood of a GO node when calculating its significance. The new algorithms better detect significant GO terms from gene expression data.

STAC 1.2 – Significance Testing for Aberrant Copy-Number

STAC 1.2

:: DESCRIPTION

STAC (Significance Testing for Aberrant Copy-Number) is a method for testing the significance of DNA copy number aberrations across multiple array-CGH experiments. It utilizes two complementary statistics in combination with a novel search strategy. The significance of both statistics is assessed, and P-values are assigned to each location on the genome by using a multiple testing corrected permutation approach. STAC identifies genomic alterations known to be of clinical and biological significance and provides statistical support for 85% of previously reported regions. Moreover, STAC identifies numerous additional regions of significant gain/loss in these data that warrant further investigation. The P-values provided by STAC can be used to prioritize regions for follow-up study in an unbiased fashion.
