However, researchers are often left with a dimensionality problem - too few technological and biological replicates, and thousands of genes to monitor for differential expression. The problem of finding interesting and novel genes within the thousands of genes on a microarray can seem akin to looking for a needle in a haystack of needles. One highly popular approach to finding interesting genes for further study is finding similar patterns of expression within the data. A common hypothesis-generating approach, clustering, has been shown to have much potential in finding genes with similar functions. However, there are a variety of clustering methods, and each has different strengths and weaknesses in finding patterns within microarray data. 000000195 540__ $$fCC BY 000000195 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000195 650__ $$aCluster Analysis$$028809 000000195 650__ $$aMicroarray Analysis$$035790 000000195 650__ $$aGene Expression$$028717 000000195 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000195 692__ $$aDepartment of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology$$041422 000000195 7001_ $$aLaderas, Ted$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000195 8564_ $$9bda6cb9e-09e7-4875-be0c-d57834ce28e5$$s2287305$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/195/files/195_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$25eefd679959fc649e0995c3e4f268ad1$$31 000000195 905__ $$a/rest/prod/76/53/71/33/76537133j 000000195 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:195$$pstudent-work 000000195 980__ $$aBiomedical Informatics
