Characterization of lung tumor subtypes through gene expression cluster validity assessment
The problem of assessing the reliability of clusters patients identified by clustering algorithms is crucial to estimate the significance of subclasses of diseases detectable at bio-molecular level, and more in general to support bio-medical discovery of patterns in gene expression data. In this paper we present an experimental analysis of the reliability of clusters discovered in lung tumor pa...
متن کاملIdentifying Thyroid Carcinoma Subtypes and Outcomes through Gene Expression Data
Unlike most cancers, thyroid cancer has an everincreasing incidence rate over recent years. In order to better understand its molecular mechanisms, we acquired gene expression data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), leveraged supervised machine learning methods to predict stages and outcomes, and utilized unsupervised machine learning methods to gain biomedical insights on the gene activity p...
متن کاملDifferential WNT Gene Expression in Various Subtypes of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Background: Dysregulation of WNT signaling has been reported in many malignancies. Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the expression pattern of 14 members of the WNT gene family in different immunophenotypic subtypes of ALL. Methods: Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was performed on samples from 71 ALL patients and 36 age-matched healthy individuals. The ALL patients were categorized in...
متن کاملCluster Validity Through Graph-based Boundary Analysis
Gaining confidence that a clustering algorithm has produced meaningful results and not an accident of its usually heuristic optimization is central to data mining. This is the issue of cluster validity. We propose here a method by which proximity graphs are used to effectively detect border points and measure the margin between clusters. With analysis of boundary situation, we design a framewor...
متن کاملIdentification of a Novel Tumor-Binding Peptide for Lung Cancer Through in-vitro Panning
Tumor-targeted therapies are playing growing roles in cancer research. The exploitation of these powerful therapeutic modalities largely depends on the discovery of tumor-targeting ligands. Phage display has proven a promising high throughput screening tool for the identification of novel specific peptides with high binding affinity to cancer cells. In the present study, we describe the use of ...
