How does NextBio rank results for my biogroup of interest?
Biogroups represent any set of genes or proteins with a related function (e.g., cell cycle, MAPK signaling pathway). NextBio uses proprietary rank-based statistics to correlate biogroups with experimental data. If the majority of genes in a Biogroup X are highly active in a given experiment (which results in a very low correlation p-value), this will rank that experiment at the top when the search with Biogroup X is performed.
