Abstract:Measuring the expression of most or all of the genes in a biological system raises major analytic challenges. A wealth of recent reports uses microarray expression data to examine diverse biological phenomena - from basic processes in model organisms to complex aspects of human disease. After an initial flurry of methods for clustering the data on the basis of similarity, the field has recognized some longer-term challenges. Firstly, there are efforts to understand the sources of noise and variation in microarray experiments in order to increase the biological signal. Secondly, there are efforts to combine expression data with other sources of information to improve the range and quality of conclusions that can be drawn. Finally, techniques are now emerging to reconstruct networks of genetic interactions in order to create integrated and systematic models of biological systems.
