How does NextBio rank results for my tissue, disease or compound of interest?
NextBio uses a combination of its proprietary rank-based statistics with various meta-analysis techniques to compute the most significant genes and biogroups associated with a tissue, disease or a compound under investigation. To do that, NextBio pulls together all studies related to a given topic to identify the most significant genes and functional trends. This enables you to glean information from the standpoint of “collective experimental intelligence”. When you first get to the Data Correlations page for any topic, you see the top genes and biogroups for that search at the top of the page, and all other relevant studies below. When you select a gene or a biogroup of interest, the studies for that topic become ranked according to the activity of that gene or biogroup.
