Disease Ontology (DO)1 aims to provide an open source ontology for the integration of biomedical data that is associated with human disease. We developed DOSE2 package to promote the investigation of diseases. DOSE provides five methods including Resnik, Lin, Jiang, Rel and Wang for measuring semantic similarities among DO terms and gene products; Hypergeometric model and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) were also implemented for extracting disease association insight from genome wide expression profiles.

DOSE provides five methods for measureing semantic similarity among DO terms and genes. It implemented over-representation analysis to associate disease with gene list (e.g. differential expressed genes) and gene set enrichment analysis to associate disease with genome wide expression profiles. The enrichment analyses support Disease Ontology (DO)1, Network of Cancer Gene (NCG)3 and DisGeNET4. In addition, several visualization methods were developed to help interpreting semantic and enrichment results.
