Pathway enrichment algorithms are applied to detect biological pathways significantly related to a given set of genes associated with a specific disease or phenotype,experimental biology conditions.In the classical over-representation analysis,there is an apparent losing of inequality of genes within a defined pathway.Hence we developed a network-based method to determine such non-equivalence in accordance with gene weights,and integrated it into the fight-tailed Fishers exact test to measure the chance that the genes of interest participate in a given pathway.
