What we offer you solutions to interpreting DNA expression.

Problem Microarray data comprises the intensity of gene expression in the 30000+ genes that make up between them the entire protein-coding part of the organism. The new technology of microarray data allows for the first time this cross-section of the gene expression into RNA to be viewed in its entirety.The complexity of data analysis involves multiple layers of interest: from biologists who want to have the key relationships between genes exposed so that they can devise further experiments and explore mechanisms involved; the drug manufacturers, who want to isolate one gene responsible for a function that can be the target for future medicines; the theorists, wanting to understand the deeper implications of the data.

Solution Exploring patterns through the whole data gives insight into the meta-significance of the information. The signs of ordering of individual activity to meet a global goal is used as a basis for normalising the data from different experiments and identifying different responses of the organism to environmental circumstance.

Consequence The approach helps biologists and other interested parties form an overview of what they are seeing. It informs future policy on conducting further experiments to reveal the significance of the DNA in particular response strategies.
