چکیده

SUMMARY A Gene Set Expression Comparison kit is developed as a module of BRB-ArrayTools for discovering biologically meaningful patterns in gene expression data. The kit consists of gene sets of transcription factor (TF) targets, gene sets containing genes whose protein products share the same protein domain and gene sets of microRNA targets. Using this module of BRB-ArrayTools, researchers can efficiently analyze pre-defined sets of gene whose expression is correlated with a categorical quantitative phenotype or patient survival. AVAILABILITY Gene Set Expression Comparison kit is freely available as a module of BRB-ArrayTools for non-commercial users. BRB-ArrayTools is available at http://linus.nci.nih.gov/BRB-ArrayTools.html.

A time course-dependent metastatic gene expression signature predicts outcome in human metastatic melanomas

BACKGROUND The prognosis of patients with metastatic melanomas is extremely heterogeneous. Therefore, identifying high-risk subgroups by using innovative prediction models would help to improve selection of appropriate management options. METHODS In this study, two datasets (GSE7929 and GSE7956) of mRNA expression microarray in an animal melanoma model were normalized by frozen Robust Multi-A...

A random variance model for detection of differential gene expression in small microarray experiments

MOTIVATION Microarray techniques provide a valuable way of characterizing the molecular nature of disease. Unfortunately expense and limited specimen availability often lead to studies with small sample sizes. This makes accurate estimation of variability difficult, since variance estimates made on a gene by gene basis will have few degrees of freedom, and the assumption that all genes share eq...
