Background: Numerous feature selection methods have been applied to the identification of differentially expressed genes in microarray data. These include simple fold change, clas...
Background: Gene Ontology (GO) terms are often used to assess the results of microarray experiments. The most common way to do this is to perform Fisher's exact tests to find...
Background: The goal of most microarray studies is either the identification of genes that are most differentially expressed or the creation of a good classification rule. The dis...
Background: Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has allowed bacteria to evolve many new capabilities. Because transferred genes perform many medically important functions, such as conf...
Background: Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common type of polymorphisms found in the human genome. Effective genetic association studies require the identific...
