1. If there exists any related human disease or biological process
to the input model organism gene list based on evolutionary conserved pathways,
or to assess the relevance of the input pathway as an appropriate model
to study a target human disease.
2. If novel human disease gene candidates derived from the input model organisms pathway
are functionally coupled in the gene network to the known disease genes.
1. It explicitly overlays model organism pathways on a human gene network.
2. It searches for related human diseases with high sensitivity
by using a network-based gene set association algorithm,
RIDDLE.
3. It can visualize the resulting disease gene networks incorporating
novel disease gene candidates from the model organism studies.
1. Human orthologs for the submitted query genes of model organisms
2. Significantly related human diseases or biological processes to the input gene list
3. Prioritized input query genes for each disease pathways
4. A network of disease genes and input query genes
