Why do functional analysis?
- Statistical significance is not the same as biological significance
- Variety of methods available to compare functional annotation to gene data
- General aim is to identify gene functions/categories that show an interesting expression profile
- Potentially identify genes with smaller but biologically significant changes.
Functional analysis methods
- Positional Gene Enrichment – looks for regions of chromosome showing changed expression.
- The Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (IPA)
- Several methods use Gene Ontology (GO) terms or other "gene sets"
- GO is the means by which we identify function.
- Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA)
- GOAL: Gene Ontology AnaLyzer
- GOrilla

Gene Set Enrichment Analysis
- Example GSEA report of a gene set found to be enriched among down regulated genes in cancer samples
Conclusions
- A wide variety of methods are available for functional analysis of expression data
- Aids biological interpretation of the data
- Different types of annotation can be compared to expression data.
- Many methods do not require user specified thresholds
