6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the biological structure or function comprises a biological pathway.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising: providing a plurality of feature groups each including a list of features related by a biological structure or function; for each of a plurality of categories in the taxonomy, receiving from one or more storage devices feature set-feature group correlation scores between the contributing feature sets and a plurality of the feature groups in the knowledge base; combining the feature set-feature group correlation scores to obtain category-feature group scores indicating the relevance of the category under consideration to each of a plurality of feature groups wherein each score provides an indication of the relevance of the category under consideration to the feature group under consideration; and determining whether the biological structure or function is likely linked to the disease or the phenotype by comparing the category-feature set score to a criterion.
