List and ranking of genes in the 19 disease training sets used for validation. This file has the list of genes in the 19 disease training sets (randomly derived from Genetic Association Database, GAD and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, OMIM) used for validation along with the ranking of the "target" genes in random cross-validation.

List and ranking of "target" genes in locus-region cross-validation using different feature sets. This file has the details of the ranking of the "target" genes in locus-region cross-validation using different gene feature sets. When MP or PubMed annotations were excluded in the prioritization, the prioritization performance dropped significantly.
