Microaray data analysis
Tutor
Alessandro FioriDescription
Microarrays are a powerful tool to analyze thousands of gene expression values with a single experiment.
Several approaches have been developed to:
- detecting genes highly correlated to diseases
- selecting genes that exhibit a similar behavior under specific conditions
- building models to predict disease outcome based on genetic profiles
- inferring regulatory networks
Application
- study of class discovery algorithms (e.g., clustering, bi-clustering)
- identify robust gene markers by means of the integration of several classification methods
- analysis of gene expression values over the time on data derived from xenopatients
