METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR VISUALIZING GENE EXPRESSION DATA

摘要

Methods and systems for visualizing gene expression data in a way that permits the comparison of different patient groups to facilitate medical applications, including cancer diagnostics and treatment planning, particularly breast cancer. The method organises gene expression data for at least one patient into a plurality of windows of a specified size, calculates an average RSEM score for all of the genes in each window and presents the average RSEM scores in a two-dimensional array, wherein one axis organises the windows by patient and the other axis organises the windows by sequence.
