BOG: R-package for Bacterium and Virus Analysis of Orthologous Groups

Publication date: Available online 21 May 2015 Source:Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal Author(s): Jincheol Park , Cenny Taslim , Shili Lin BOG (Bacterium and virus analysis of Orthologous Groups) is a package for identifying groups of differentially regulated genes in the light of gene functions for various virus and bacteria genomes. It is designed to identify Cluster of Orthologous Groups (COGs) that are enriched among genes that have gone through significant changes under different conditions. This would contribute to the detection of pathogens, an important scientific research area of relevance in uncovering bioterrorism, among others. Particular statistical analyses include hypergeometric, Mann-Whitney rank sum, and gene set enrichment analysis. Results from the analyses are organized and presented in tabular and graphical forms for ease of understanding and dissemination of results. BOG is implemented as an R-package, which is available from CRAN or can be downloaded from http://www.stat.osu.edu/ statgen/SOFTWARE/BOG/.
