How does NextBio rank Data Correlation results when I search for my gene of interest?
NextBio ranks all of the studies for a given gene based on the activity of that gene in each individual experiment. For example, if a drug induces the activity of “Gene A” more than any other gene in a dataset ( or “bioset”), Gene A will get the highest rank amongst all genes profiled in that individual study. If you query Gene A in NextBio, the bioset mentioned above, which gives Gene A a ranking of 1, will show up ranked higher than another bioset where, for instance, it is the 5th highest-induced gene and given rank 5. NextBio’s algorithms normalize gene ranks based on platform size and other factors.
