DNA Microarrays

DNA Microarrays

Microarrays are high-throughput and relatively inexpensive assays that can be automated to analyze large quantities of data at a time. They are used in genome-wide studies to compare gene or protein expression under two varied conditions, such as healthy and diseased states. Microarrays consist of glass or silica slides on which probe molecules are covalently attached through surface functionalization. Most commonly, the slides are prepared through the chemisorption of silanes to silica...

What is Gene Expression?

What is Gene Expression?

Overview
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
Genetic Information Flows from DNA to RNA to Protein
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...

Quantifying and Rejecting Outliers: The Grubbs Test

Quantifying and Rejecting Outliers: The Grubbs Test

Sometimes, a data set can have a recorded numerical observation that greatly deviates from the rest of the data. Assuming that the data is normally distributed, a statistical method called the Grubbs test can be used to determine whether the observation is truly an outlier. To perform a two-tailed Grubbs test, first, calculate the absolute difference between the outlier and the mean. Then, calculate the ratio between this difference and the standard deviation of the sample. This...

To identify optimal feature sets from gene expression data.

Main Methods:

Utilizing Monte Carlo sampling to create multiple data subsets.
Ranking gene features within each subset and integrating rankings for a final list.
Employing a backward feature elimination strategy to determine the optimal feature set.

Main Results:

Applied to Leukemia, Prostate, Colorectal, and SMK_CAN datasets, selecting 7, 10, 13, and 32 features, respectively.
Achieved high Area Under the Curve (AUC) values on independent test sets: 0.9867, 0.9796, 0.9571, and 0.9575.
Demonstrated improved sample classification accuracy compared to baseline methods.

Conclusions:

The proposed SVM-based ensemble method is effective for gene selection in gene expression data.
