Abstract:
MOTIVATION:A set of genes and their gene expression levels are used to classify disease and normal tissues. Due to the massive number of genes in microarray, there are a large number of edges to divide different classes of genes in microarray space. The edging genes (EGs) can be co-regulated genes, they can also be on the same pathway or deregulated by the same non-coding genes, such as siRNA or miRNA. Every gene in EGs is vital for identifying a tissue's class. The changing in one EG's gene expression may cause a tissue alteration from normal to disease and vice versa. Finding EGs is of biological importance. In this work, we propose an algorithm to effectively find these EGs. RESULT:We tested our algorithm with five microarray datasets. The results are compared with the border-based algorithm which was used to find gene groups and subsequently divide different classes of tissues. Our algorithm finds a significantly larger amount of EGs than does the border-based algorithm. As our algorithm prunes irrelevant patterns at earlier stages, time and space complexities are much less prevalent than in the border-based algorithm. AVAILABILITY:The algorithm proposed is implemented in C++ on Linux platform. The EGs in five microarray datasets are calculated. The preprocessed datasets and the discovered EGs are available at http://www3.it.deakin.edu.au/~phoebe/microarray.html.
