DIAN: A Novel Algorithm for Genome Ontological Classification

Requirement for Manual Validation of Comparative Results

Concept DIAN /Role node number Present in DIAN and GO DIAN only GO only Reported type I variation Effective number of type I assignments Effective rate of type I variation

  • Type I variation here refers to those assignments made byDIAN but not in the reference ontology implementation system (GO system). Manual validation results show that Type I variation (DIAN-only assignments) cannot simple be treated as Type I error in a strict statistical sense.
