Arrangement of the functional classes aiding the improvement of the AUC score of the GO:0051049 (regulation of transport) class in the GO biological process ontology. This figure shows the arrangement of the functional classes aiding the improvement of the AUC score of the GO:0051049 (regulation of transport) class (listed in Table 4) in the GO biological process ontology. Their structural proximity to the target class (GO:0051049) suggests their potential to help improve the predictions for this class.

Ranked list of predictions from the Mnaimneh gene expression data set. A detailed list of ranked predictions produced by the label similarity-incorporated kNN classifiers (first worksheet) and base kNN classifiers (second worksheet) for the test genes extracted from the Mnaimneh gene expression data set. The GO terms, arranged in columns, are sorted from left to right in the order of decreasing AUC improvements by incorporating functional relationships into their base classifiers. The genes in each column are ranked in descending order by the score assigned by the corresponding kNN classifier. Genes with the same score (mostly in the case when the score is 0) are sorted by their ORF name.
