Motivation: New biological systems technologies give scientists the ability to measure thousands of bio-molecules including genes, proteins, lipids and metabolites. We use domain knowledge, e.g. the Gene Ontology, to guide analysis of such data. By focusing on domain-aggregated results at, say the molecular function level, increased interpretability is available to biological scientists beyond what is possible if results are presented at the gene level.
Results: We use a 'top-down' approach to perform domain aggregation by first combining gene expressions before testing for differentially expressed patterns. This is in contrast to the more standard 'bottom-up' approach, where genes are first tested individually then aggregated by domain knowledge. The benefits are greater sensitivity for detecting signals. Our method, domain-enhanced analysis (DEA) is assessed and compared to other methods using simulation studies and analysis of two publicly available leukemia data sets.
Availability: Our DEA method uses functions available in R (http://www.r-project.org/) and SAS (http://www.sas.com/). The two experimental data sets used in our analysis are available in R as Bioconductor packages, 'ALL' and 'golubEsets' (http://www.bioconductor.org/).
Supplementary Information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

The electroencephalogram-based (EEG) brain-computer interface (BCI) has garnered significant attention in recent research. However, the practicality of EEG remains constrained by the lack of efficient EEG decoding technology. The challenge lies in effectively translating intricate EEG into meaningful, generalizable information.

The post-translational import of nuclear-encoded chloroplast preproteins is critical for chloroplast biogenesis, and the Toc159 family of proteins is the receptor for this process. Our previous work identified and analyzed the Toc GTPase in tomato; however, the tomato-specific transport substrate for Toc159 is still unknown, which limits the study of the function of the TOC receptor in tomato. In this study, we expand the number of preprotein substrates of slToc159 receptor family members using slToc159-1 and slToc159-2 as bait via a split-ubiquitin yeast two-hybrid membrane system.

Humans and Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus share numerous homologous genes, including collagens and collagen-modifying enzymes. To explore this homology, we performed a genome-wide comparison between human and mimivirus using DELTA-BLAST (Domain Enhanced Lookup Time Accelerated BLAST) and identified 52 new putative mimiviral proteins that are homologous with human proteins. To gain functional insights into mimiviral proteins, their human protein homologs were organized into Gene Ontology (GO) and REACTOME pathways to build a functional network.

Ascidians accumulate extremely high levels of vanadium (V) in their blood cells. Several V-related proteins, including V-binding proteins (vanabins), have been isolated from V-accumulating ascidians. In this study, to obtain a deeper understanding of vanabins, we performed transcriptome analysis of blood cells from a V-rich ascidian, , and constructed a database containing 8532 predicted proteins.

Background: To investigate the changes of subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) and choriocapillary circulation in idiopathic macular holes (IMHs), the fellow eyes, and normal subjects using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), and to explore the role of SFCT and choriocapillary circulation in the pathogenesis of IMH.
Methods: A case series of 30 patients with unilateral IMH and 30 subjects, with age- and sex-matched, were included. Thirty eyes of 30 patients with unilateral IMH, the unaffected fellow eyes, and 30 eyes of age- and sex-matched healthy patients were studied.
