Ontologies have become the tool of choice for organizing and describing the meaning of biological and medical data. This book introduces the most importantaspects of bio-ontologies, including statistical overrepresentation analysis,semantic similarity, and inference. Each chapter reviews the main goals of the methods discussed, explains the mathematical and computation methods used toachieve those goals, offers practical examples, and includes theoretical and practical exercises. A supporting website provides ontologies and files for the practical exercises and open-source software.
