Markerβassisted selection (MAS) to enhance genetic resistance to Marekβs disease (MD), a herpesvirusβinduced T cell cancer in chicken, is an attractive alternative to augment control with vaccines. Our earlier studies indicate that there are many quantitative trait loci (QTL) containing one or more

β¦ Synopsis
Microarray data analysis can be divided into two tasks: grouping of genes to discover broad patterns of biological behaviour, and filtering of genes to identify specific genes of interest. Whereas the gene-grouping task is largely addressed by cluster analysis, the gene-filtering task relies primarily on hypothesis testing. This review article surveys analytical methods for the gene-filtering task. Various types of data analysis are discussed for four basic types of experimental protocols: a comparison of two biological samples; a comparison of two biological conditions; each represented by a set of replicate samples; a comparison of multiple biological conditions; and analysis of covariate information.

Allowing the parallel monitoring of the transcription of thousands of genes, microarrays constitute a powerful technique for functional genomics. In a recent paper, a clustering method and a local alignment software were combined to identify DNA motifs in sets of yeast genes endowed with similar tra
Many attempts have been made to analyze gene expression data. Typical goals of such analysis include discovery of subclasses, designing predictors/classifiers for diseases, identifying marker genes, and trying to get a deeper understanding of underlying biological process. Success of each of these t
