PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To analyze gene expression data by receiving the gene expression data of data points, clustering the data points by the use of a self-systematized image so that the data points expressing similar patterns are clustered into clusters, respectively, and then outputting the clusters of the data points. SOLUTION: This method for grouping plural data points which are a series of gene expression values, respectively, in a computer system comprises a step for receiving the gene expression values of the data points, a step for selecting any data point exhibiting a non-prominent change in the gene expression values so as to leave working data points, a step for normalizing the gene expression values of the working data points, a step for grouping the data points by the use of a self-systematized image so that the data points expressing similar patterns are grouped into clusters, respectively, and a step for outputting the groups of the data points. Thereby, a large quantity of the sets of the gene expression patterns can be analyzed. |
