Abstract:
Clonal mosaicism (a detectable post-zygotic mutational event in cellular subpopulations) is common in cancer patients. Detected segments of clonal mosaicism are usually bundled into large-locus regions for statistical analysis. However, low-frequency genes are overlooked and are not sufficient to elucidate qualitative differences between cancer patients and non-patients. Therefore, it is of interest to develop and describe a tool named Sub-GOFA for Sub-Gene Ontology function analysis in clonal mosaicism using semantic similarity. Sub-GOFA measures the semantic (logical) similarity among patients using the sub-GO network structures of various sizes segmented from the gene ontology (GO) for clustering analysis. The sub-GO's root-terms with significant differences are extracted as disease-associated genetic functions. Sub-GOFA selected a high ratio of cancer-associated genes under validation with acceptable threshold.

Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...
