Clustering Genes

Abstract:
The rapid development of biological has generated a huge amount of data, which provides a processing as well as a global view of gene expression levels across different conditions and over multiple stages. One of the most important steps is to use clustering approaches to extract the useful and rational patterns of gene expression. We hope to find the relationships between the patterns and real functions of the genes. In this talk, I will introduce some of my work in clustering gene data. I will show some initial results in this direction and also discuss possible future work.
