Friday, February 21, 2003 in REC 112 4:30 PM Mr. Jongwoo Song University of Chicago will speak on Clustering Analysis in Gene Profile Data Abstract Microarrays are part of a new class of biotechnologies which allow the monitoring of expression levels for thousands of genes simultaneously. Gene profile data come from experiments that investigate the behavior of genes over several time points. Biologists are interested in these gene expression profiles because it is believed that genes in the same functional pathway have similar profiles of gene expression.
In the microarray experiments, most of the unsupervised learning processes
involve three steps: standardization, defining a dissimilarity measure,
and applying a clustering algorithm. We will discuss the issues involved
in these steps, and we will propose new methods. A new distance measure that
takes into account the time order and the time distance between experiments
will be introduced. A clustering algorithm that finds clusters sequentially
and that allows for sporadic objects will be discussed.
