Detecting intergene correlation changes in microarray analysis: a new approach to gene selection
Open accessAbstract
Background: Microarray technology is commonly used as a simple screening tool with a focus on selecting genes that exhibit extremely large differential expressions between different phenotypes. It lacks the ability to select genes that change their relationships with other genes in different biological conditions (differentially correlated genes). We intend to enrich the above procedure by proposing a nonparametric selection procedure that selects differentially correlated genes. Results: Using both simulations and resampling techniques, we found that our procedure correctly detected genes that were not differentially expressed but differentially correlated. We also applied our procedure to a set of biological data and found some potentially important genes that were not selected by the traditional method. Discussion and Conclusion: Microarray technology yields multidimensional information on the function of the whole genome. Rather than treating intergene correlation as a nuisance to the traditional gene selection procedures which are essentially univariate, our method utilizes the rich information contained in the correlation as a new selection criterion. It can provide additional useful candidate genes for the biologists.

In the citing paper
“An increasingly used method that goes beyond traditional co-expression networks is differential co-expression analysis [4–7]. This approach identifies genes with varying co-expression partners under different conditions, such as disease states [4, 8–10], tissue types [11] and developmental stages [12], because these genes are more likely to be regulators that underlie phenotypic differences.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
