Contribution of model organism phenotypes to the computational identification of human disease genes.

Abstract excerpt

Computing phenotypic similarity helps identify new disease genes and diagnose rare diseases. Genotype-phenotype data from orthologous genes in model organisms can compensate for lack of human data and increase genome coverage. In the past decade, cross-species phenotype comparisons have proven valuble, and several ontologies have been developed for this purpose. The relative contribution of different model...
