Genesis: cluster analysis of microarray data

A versatile, platform independent and easy to use Java suite for large-scale gene expression analysis was developed. Genesis integrates various tools for microarray data analysis such as filters, normalization and visualization tools, distance measures as well as common clustering algorithms including hierarchical clustering, self-organizing maps, k-means, principal component analysis, and supp...

Advances in cluster analysis of microarray data

Clustering genes into biological meaningful groups according to their pattern of expression is a main technique of microarray data analysis, based on the assumption that similarity in gene expression implies some form of regulatory or functional similarity. We give an overview of various clustering techniques, including conventional clustering methods (such as hierarchical clustering, k-means c...

Analyzing microarray data using cluster analysis.

As pharmacogenetics researchers gather more detailed and complex data on gene polymorphisms that effect drug metabolizing enzymes, drug target receptors and drug transporters, they will need access to advanced statistical tools to mine that data. These tools include approaches from classical biostatistics, such as logistic regression or linear discriminant analysis, and supervised learning meth...

Effective feature selection framework for cluster analysis of microarray data

The microarray technique has become a standard means in simultaneously examining expression of all genes measured in different circumstances. As microarray data are typically characterized by high dimensional features with a small number of samples, feature selection needs to be incorporated to identify a subset of genes that are meaningful for biological interpretation and accountable for the ...
