The human phenotype ontology (HPO) was recently developed as a standardized vocabulary for describing the phenotype abnormalities associated with human diseases. At present, only a small fraction of human protein coding genes have HPO annotations. But, researchers believe that a large portion of currently unannotated genes are related to disease phenotypes. Therefore, it is important to predict gene-HPO term associations using accurate computational methods. In this work we demonstrate the performance advantage of the structured SVM approach which was shown to be highly effective for Gene Ontology term prediction in comparison to several baseline methods. Furthermore, we highlight a collection of informative data sources suitable for the problem of predicting gene-HPO associations, including large scale literature mining data.

Abstract Summary Although various tools for Gene Ontology (GO) term enrichment analysis are available, there is still room for improvement. Hence, we present DiNGO, a standalone application based on an open source code from BiNGO, a widely-used application to assess the overrepresentation of GO categories. Besides facilitating GO term enrichment analyses, DiNGO has been developed to allow for convenient Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) term overrepresentation investigation. This is an important contribution considering the increasing interest in HPO in scientific research and its potential in clinical settings. DiNGO supports gene/protein identifier conversion and an automatic updating of GO and HPO annotation resources. Finally, DiNGO can rapidly process a large amount of data due to its multithread design. Availability and Implementation DiNGO is implemented in the JAVA language, and its source code, example datasets and instructions are available on GitHub: https://github.com/radoslav180/DiNGO. A pre-compiled jar file is available at: https://www.vin.bg.ac.rs/180/tools/DiNGO.php Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Over the course of the last few years there has been a significant amount of research performed on ontology-based formalization of phenotype descriptions. The intrinsic value and knowledge captured within such descriptions can only be expressed by taking advantage of their inner structure that implicitly combines qualities and anatomical entities. We present a meta-model (the Phenotype Fragment Ontology) and a processing pipeline that enable together the automatic decomposition and conceptualization of phenotype descriptions for the human skeletal phenome. We use this approach to showcase the usefulness of the generic concept of phenotype decomposition by performing an experimental study on all skeletal phenotype concepts defined in the Human Phenotype Ontology.
