| The project started in 2003, and has resulted in the development of new data mining tools that are useful for classification of multiple tumor types using gene expression generated from DNA microarray data. |
| A DNA chip, or DNA microarray, is a small glass slide that can reveal the presence or absence of particular DNA sequences in a sample. |
| In the past decade DNA microarray technology has made it possible to measure the expression levels of many thousands of genes simultaneously in a single experiment. |
| The goal of one of his projects is to develop a statistical approach that would allow an optimal analysis of DNA microarray data when dealing with a small number of replicates. |
| A typical genomics application using DNA microarray technology generates in the range of 10-50 gigabytes of data, enough to fill the hard drive of a high-end personal computer in a matter of days. |
| Like all enabling technologies, DNA microarray analysis has manifold applications, and new ones will surely be developed. |
