| 2025 | GeneFEAST: the pivotal, gene-centric step in functional enrichment analysis interpretationabstractSUMMARY: GeneFEAST, implemented in Python, is a gene-centric functional enrichment analysis summarization and visualization tool that can be applied to large functional enrichment analysis (FEA) results arising from upstream FEA pipelines. It produces a systematic, navigable HTML report, making it easy to identify sets of genes putatively driving multiple enrichments and to explore gene-level quantitative data first used to identify input genes. Further, GeneFEAST can juxtapose FEA results from multiple studies, making it possible to highlight patterns of gene expression amongst genes that are differentially expressed in at least one of multiple conditions, and which give rise to shared enrichments under those conditions. Thus, GeneFEAST offers a novel, effective way to address the complexities of linking up many overlapping FEA results to their underlying genes and data, advancing gene-centric hypotheses, and providing pivotal information for downstream validation experiments.

| 2015 | GeneNet Toolbox for MATLAB: a flexible platform for the analysis of gene connectivity in biological networksabstractSUMMARY: We present GeneNet Toolbox for MATLAB (also available as a set of standalone applications for Linux). The toolbox, available as command-line or with a graphical user interface, enables biologists to assess connectivity among a set of genes of interest ('seed-genes') within a biological network of their choosing. Two methods are implemented for calculating the significance of connectivity among seed-genes: 'seed randomization' and 'network permutation'. Options include restricting analyses to a specified subnetwork of the primary biological network, and calculating connectivity from the seed-genes to a second set of interesting genes. Pre-analysis tools help the user choose the best connectivity-analysis algorithm for their network. The toolbox also enables visualization of the connections among seed-genes. GeneNet Toolbox functions execute in reasonable time for very large networks (∼10 million edges) on a desktop computer. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: GeneNet Toolbox is open source and freely available from http://avigailtaylor.github.io/gntat14.
