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 ...

Multiple studies have devised mapping schemes to associate cancer hallmarks with Gene Ontology terms and biological pathway. This study compares the similarities and differences between them, in order to establish consensus knowledge.
