Patterns of diverse gene functions in genomic neighborhoods predict gene function and phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

Genes with similar roles in the cell cluster on chromosomes, thus benefiting from coordinated regulation. This allows gene function to be inferred by transferring annotations from genomic neighbors, following the guilt-by-association principle. We performed a systematic search for co-occurrence of >1000 gene functions in genomic neighborhoods across 1669 prokaryotic, 49 fungal and 80 metazoan genomes, revealing...
