  • Non-metric tool for predicting gene relationships from expression data
    Patent number: 6947846
    Abstract: Techniques for processing gene expression data and predicting gene relationships are provided. More specifically, a method for processing gene expression ratios may include discretizing a first expression ratio for a first gene and a second expression ratio for a second gene for each of a plurality of experiments into one of three indications, calculating the probability that the combination of the discretized expression ratios for each of the plurality of experiments arises by random chance, and determining whether the first gene and the second gene are related.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 20, 2005
    Assignee: California Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Stephen R. Quake, R. Michael van Dam, James P. Brody, Rebecca Shafee
