I have to reproduce a result for school reasons (bioinformatics exam) and I was assigned a certain article. In particular I have to reproduce what some authors did in: doi: 10.1371 / journal.pone.0217889. From what I understand, they make functional enrichments in respect of three variants of protein disorder. They consider vectors whose components are proteins (belonging to a certain type of disorder flavour) in a functional class divided by the total number of proteins in that functional variant. The problem is that if I go for an enrichment in GO terms for a certain set of proteins, the same GO terms do not necessarily come out for another set of proteins. So my question is: in relation to the paragraph 'Clustering of the variants of disorder through functional profiles' how do I construct the vectors that they then use in clustering?
Thanks in advance
