Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for providing one or more collaboration recommendations based on correlations between experimental biological datasets, the computer-implemented method comprising: receiving at least one experimental biological dataset; normalizing the at least one received experimental biological dataset; statistically analyzing the at least one received experimental biological dataset to produce a statistical analysis output comprising one or more of a molecule set, a ranked list, a molecular network, or a differentially expressed or differentially modified biological molecule; performing correlation analysis of the statistical analysis output in order to determine one or more correlations between the at least one received experimental biological dataset and one or more other experimental biological datasets, wherein a significance level for each of the one or more correlations is adjusted for multiple hypothesis testing by normalizing for a false-discovery rate in order to produce a metric that estimates strength of association, and wherein a significance threshold is applied to a top and a bottom of one or more ranked lists in order to identify differentially expressed sets of molecules that are significantly up-regulated and down-regulated; using the one or more correlations and said metric that estimates strength of association to quantify a degree of correlation between the at least one received experimental biological dataset and at least one of the one or more other experimental biological datasets; identifying one or more owners of the at least one received experimental biological dataset, wherein the one or more owners of the at least one received experimental biological dataset include a scientist associated with the at least one received experimental biological dataset; identifying one or more owners of the at least one identified other experimental biological dataset; and when the degree of correlation between the at least one received experimental biological dataset and the at least one of the one or more other experimental biological datasets exceeds a statistical threshold, presenting one or more collaboration recommendations to the one or more identified owners of the at least one received experimental biological dataset or the one or more identified owners of the at least one identified other experimental biological dataset.
