Establishing Consensus Annotation for the Hallmarks of Cancer, 2020, Yi Chen, F.J.Verbeek and K.Wolstencroft, in submission

The hallmarks of cancer provide a highly cited and well-used conceptual framework for describing the processes involved in cancer cell development. However, methods for translating these high-level concepts into data-level associations between hallmarks and genes (for high throughput analysis), vary widely between studies. In this investigation we compare cancer hallmark mapping strategies from different studies, based on Gene Ontology and biological pathway annotation. By analysing the semantic ...

This study examines how different hallmark gene datasets intersect with prognostic cancer genes

A Jaccard Index of the overlap between prognostic and hallmark genes for 17 cancer types across different mapping schemes. The impact of selecting different mapping schemes was assessed by pairwise comparisons where there were 5 or more shared genes.
