Visualisation methods for exploring microarray data are particularly important for gaining insight into data from gene expression experiments, such as those concerned with the development of an understanding of gene function and interactions. Further, good visualisation techniques are useful for...

A number of microarray studies assume gene expression data to be independent of one another. In this report, we provide evidence of correlation in cDNA microarray gene expression data using classical power spectral analysis and the sophisticated detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). Such...

This letter proposes modeling a large collection of test statistics, such as may arise in microarray data analysis, using a mixture of three normal distributions: one with mean zero, one with nonnegative mean, and one with nonpositive mean. A convenient procedure is established for testing...

We present the Ontocancro Database (www.ontocancro.org) illustrated with applications to network modeling and pathway functional analysis. The database compiles information on gene pathways involved in Human Genome Maintenance Mechanisms (GMM) whose dysfunction accounts for cancer and several...
