PY - 2011 DA - 2011/03/31 TI - Alignment of gene expression profiles from test samples against a reference database: New method for context-specific interpretation of microarray data JO - BioData Mining SP - 5 VL - 4 IS - 1 AB - Gene expression microarray data have been organized and made available as public databases, but the utilization of such highly heterogeneous reference datasets in the interpretation of data from individual test samples is not as developed as e.g. in the field of nucleotide sequence comparisons. We have created a rapid and powerful approach for the alignment of microarray gene expression profiles (AGEP) from test samples with those contained in a large annotated public reference database and demonstrate here how this can facilitate interpretation of microarray data from individual samples.
