How does NextBio rank results 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, Gene A will get the highest rank amongst all genes profiled in that experiment. When you search with Gene A, the experiment mentioned above which gives this gene rank 1, will show up ranked higher than another study where, for instance, it is given rank 5. NextBio’s algorithms also include additional normalization for gene ranks based on platform size and other factors.
