Quantitative gene expression

Digital quantitative measurements of gene expression.

One of the primary goals of functional genomics is to provide a quantitative understanding of gene function. However, the success of this enterprise is dependent on the accuracy and precision of the functional genomic data. A novel approach, digital analysis of gene expression (DAGE) described herein, is an accurate and precise technology for measuring digital gene expression on a relative or a...

Quantitative set analysis for gene expression: a method to quantify gene set differential expression including gene-gene correlations

Enrichment analysis of gene sets is a popular approach that provides a functional interpretation of genome-wide expression data. Existing tests are affected by inter-gene correlations, resulting in a high Type I error. The most widely used test, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis, relies on computationally intensive permutations of sample labels to generate a null distribution that preserves gene-gen...

GEPIS - quantitative gene expression profiling in normal and cancer tissues

MOTIVATION Expression profiling in diverse tissues is fundamental to understanding gene function as well as therapeutic target identification. The vast collection of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and the associated tissue source information provides an attractive opportunity for studying gene expression. RESULTS To facilitate EST-based expression analysis, we developed GEPIS (gene expression...
