Abstract:
An important goal of functional genomics is to develop methods for determining ways in which individual actions of genes are integrated in the cell. One way of gaining insight into a gene's role in cellular activity is to study its expression pattern in a variety of circumstances and contexts, as it responds to its environment and to the action of other genes. Microarrays provide large-scale surveys of gene expression in which transcript levels can be determined for thousands of genes simultaneously. The coefficient of determination (CoD) has been proposed for the analysis of gene interaction via multivariate expression arrays. Parallel computing is essential to the application of the CoD to a large set of genes because of the large number of expression-based functions that must be statistically designed and compared. The results of the calculation of the CoD for a large set of genes with multiple superscalar processors are presented. A proposal for calculating the CoD with multiple vector processors is described. Multiple vector processor systems offer the potential to greatly reduce the time to calculate the CoD for a large set of genes.

The expression of more than 30,000 genes is controlled by approximately 2000-3000 transcription factors. This is possible because a single transcription factor can recognize more than one regulatory sequence. The specificity in gene...
