Sequencing projects arising from high-throughput technologies including those of sequencing DNA microarray allowed measuring simultaneously the expression levels of millions of genes of a biological sample as well as to annotate and to identify the role (function) of those genes. Consequently, to better manage and organize this significant amount of information, bioinformatics approaches have been developed. These approaches provide a representation and a more 'relevant' integration of data in
