Gene Set Expression Comparison kit for BRB-ArrayTools

Bioinformatics. 2008 Jan 1;24(1):137-9. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btm541. Epub 2007 Nov 15.

Abstract

Summary: A Gene Set Expression Comparison kit is developed as a module of BRB-ArrayTools for discovering biologically meaningful patterns in gene expression data. The kit consists of gene sets of transcription factor (TF) targets, gene sets containing genes whose protein products share the same protein domain and gene sets of microRNA targets. Using this module of BRB-ArrayTools, researchers can efficiently analyze pre-defined sets of gene whose expression is correlated with a categorical quantitative phenotype or patient survival.

Availability: Gene Set Expression Comparison kit is freely available as a module of BRB-ArrayTools for non-commercial users. BRB-ArrayTools is available at http://linus.nci.nih.gov/BRB-ArrayTools.html.
