Differential Modeling For Cancer Microarray Data, Omar Odibat

Wayne State University Dissertations

Capturing the changes between two biological phenotypes is a crucial task in understanding the mechanisms of various diseases. Most of the existing computational approaches depend on testing the changes in the expression levels of each single gene individually. In this work, we proposed novel computational approaches to identify the differential genes between two phenotypes. These approaches aim to quantitatively characterize the differences between two phenotypes and can provide better insights and understanding of various diseases. The purpose of this thesis is three-fold. Firstly, we review the state-of-the-art approaches for differential analysis of gene expression data.

Secondly, we propose a novel …
