 ¡Ø Scheme (by George M. Church group at Harvard)

The above scheme works quite well. (See Tavazoie et al., Nature Genetics 22, 1999)

We are trying to do these...

1) For this scheme, the microarray data used are mostly time series data. But k-means algorithm considers only the    similarity in expression patterns and does not have a sense of Time. We want to develop a clustering method that    better reflects the temporal patterns in the expression data. It will more reliably reconstruct the transcriptional    control network.

2) Extension of this scheme to the microarray data of species other than the yeast. This will include the development    of Gibbs Sampler alignment program optimized for the species.
