A gene sets approach for identifying prognostic gene signatures for outcome prediction.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Phenomena such as incomplete lineage sorting, horizontal gene transfer, gene duplication and subsequent sub- and neo-functionalisation can result in distinct local phylogenetic relationships that are discordant with species phylogeny. In order to assess the possible biological roles for these subdivisions, t...
