System for analyzing bio chips using gene ontology and a method thereof

A method for analyzing a bio chip comprising:

• a) receiving a statistical clustering data obtained from empirical results of the bio chip to assign relevant GO terms to every gene contained in each cluster;
• b) converting the GO terms assigned to the genes into GO codes, the GO code comprising a group of predetermined numbers;
• c) calculating pseudo distances between one of GO terms contained in a predetermined group on GO tree structure and the GO terms corresponding to the genes contained in the cluster by using the GO codes;
• d) calculating at least one of average pseudo distance or maximum pseudo distance of the pseudo distances calculated in the step (c);
• and
• e) repeating the step (c) and the step (d) for every GO term on the GO tree structure contained in the predetermined group to determine an optimum GO term matching with the cluster.

A digital device readable medium containing program instructions for executing an analysis of a bio chip, the medium comprising the program instructions for:

• a) receiving a statistical clustering data obtained from empirical results of the bio chip, and for assigning relevant GO terms to every gene contained in each cluster;
• b) converting the GO terms assigned to the genes into GO codes, the GO code comprising a group of predetermined numbers;
• c) calculating pseudo distances between one of GO terms on GO tree structure contained a predetermined group and the GO terms corresponding to the genes contained in the cluster by using the GO codes;
• d) calculating at least one of average pseudo distance or maximum pseudo distance of the pseudo distances calculated in the step (c);
• and
• e) repeating the step (c) and the step (d) for every GO term on the GO tree structure contained in the predetermined group to determine an optimum GO term matching with the cluster.
