¡¤         rSW-seq: algorithm for detection of copy number alterations in deep sequencing data
rSW-seq is designed to identify copy number alterations between tumor-vs-matched normal genomes (or between normal-vs-normal genomes for CNV detection) from deep sequencing data generated by next-generation sequencing.  Compared to other algorithms (BreakDancer or MoDIL) using PEM (paired-end mapping) signatures, rSW-seq uses ¡®read-depth¡¯ as primary measure, which can be applied to single-end sequencing read set.

¡¤         PathCluster: a framework for gene set-based hierarchical clustering
Gene clustering is a powerful technique in the analysis of large-scaled gene expression data.  In PathCluster, genes belonging to the gene sets are measured for the expression similarity or distance in a pairwise manner and the distance between gene sets can be visualized in conventional 'tree-like' dendrogram using PathCluster. In the dendrogram, the possible relationship between distinct molecular functions (e.g., GO terms) or between transcription/small RNA regulators (e.g., motif synergy between two corresponding transcriptional regulators) can be visually investigated.

¡¤         GEAR: Genomic Enrichment Analysis for Regional DNA copy number changes
GEAR algorithm has been developed to functionally analyze the genome-wide alterations detected by array-CGH platform. Two kinds of genomic signatures (i.e., the coordinated genomic dosage changes of functionally related genes), primary and clinical signatures can be identified from highly recurrent or class-specific genomic alterations linking such alterations with respective biological functions by using GEAR algorithm.  GEAR also measures the enrichment of gene sets for user-defined custom alterations facilitating the functional analysis of various types of genomic variants.

¡¤         GSECA: Inferring biological functions and associated transcriptional regulators using Gene Set Expression Coherence Analysis
GSECA is an analytical framework that identifies functional categories and associated transcriptional regulatory logics by using expression coherence of predefined functional and regulatory motif gene sets. As an integrative and comprehensive method exploiting the biological information in terms of functional and regulatory motif gene sets, the proposed algorithm generates a number of testable hypotheses: X1 and X2 transcriptional regulators synergistically regulate function Y under cellular condition Z. With extended versatility coping with various kinds of expression datasets, GSECA would help to elucidate the interactions between molecular functions and related transcriptional regulators.

¡¤         BSEA: Identification of transcriptional regulators using Binding Site Enrichment Analysis
The method of BSEA (binding site enrichment analysis) adopts the algorithm of gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA; more specifically PAGE, parametrical version of GSEA) and takes the entire array platforms into accounts identifying key transcriptional cis-sequences and corresponding trans-acting factors (transcriptional factors). BSEA can identify key regulators for global microarray data in which transcriptional regulation plays a major role. As a generalized method, BSEA would help to elucidate the transcriptional regulatory networks, the primary challenges in functional genomics.
