objective(s): microarrays are potential analyzing tools for genomics and proteomics researches, which is in needed of suitable substrate for coating and also hybridization of biomolecules.   materials and methods: in this research, a thin film of oxidized agarose was prepared on the glass slides which previously coated with poly-l-lysine (pll). some of the aldehyde groups of the activated agaro...

Introduction: Down syndrome as a genetic disorder is a popular research topic in molecular studies. One way to study Down syndrome is via bioinformatics.  Methods: In this study, a gene expression profile from a microarray study was selected for more investigation. Results: The study of Down syndrome patients shows specific genes with differential expression and network centrality properties....

in this paper, we propose a new gene selection algorithm based on shuffled frog leaping algorithm that is called sfla-fs. the proposed algorithm is used for improving cancer classification accuracy. most of the biological datasets such as cancer datasets have a large number of genes and few samples. however, most of these genes are not usable in some tasks for example in cancer classification. ...

an important aspect of microarray studies includes the prediction of patient survival based on their gene expression profile. to deal with the high dimensionality of this data, use of a dimension reduction procedure along with the survival prediction model is necessary. this study aimed to present a new method based on wavelet transform for survival relevant gene selection.the data included 204...

The availability of genomic data is increasing exponentially. This is magnified by the proliferation of data at all “omic” hierarchy levels. This explosive growth in biological data (currently GenBank contains over 44 billion base pairs and over 40 million sequences) mandates an increasing need for sophisticated mathematical and computational methods and software environments capable of handlin...

The widespread application of tissue microarrays in cancer research and the clinical pathology laboratory demonstrates a versatile and portable technology. The rapid integration of tissue microarrays into biomarker discovery and validation processes reflects the forward thinking of researchers who have pioneered the high-density tissue microarray. The precise arrangement of hundreds of archival...
