Figure Lengend Snippet: Constructing the mechanism-based disease–disease network based on the GWAS/OMIM/DEG records. (A) We combine the disease–gene connections derived from GWAS, OMIM and DEG records to build a comprehensive disease–gene network (D 1 , D 2 , D 3 and D 4 indicate diseases and G 1 , G 2 , G 3 and G 4 indicate genes). For each disease pair, we calculate the hypergeometric P -value to assess the significance of the number of genes involved in both diseases. We also add drug–treatment relations to complement further the database. (B) In the disease–disease network, when users click the edge between disease D 1 and D 2 , the web server generates the detailed network of disease D 1 and D 2 , including DEG/GWAS/OMIM/GeneRIF/GeneWays disease–gene relations and drug treatment/target relations.
Article Snippet: The Disease and Gene Annotation (DGA) database uses the Gene Reference Into Function (GeneRIF) from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), Disease Ontology (DO) and molecular interaction networks to construct disease–gene, gene–gene and disease–disease relations ( ).
