Although clustering offers a natural solution to this problem, it suffers from the limitation that it uses all the conditions to compare two genes, whereas only a subset of them may be relevant. Association analysis offers an alternative route for finding such groups of genes that may be co-expressed only over a subset of the experimental conditions used to prepare the data set. The techniques in this field attempt to find groups of data objects that contain coherent values across a set of attributes, in an exhaustive and efficient manner. In this paper, we illustrate how a generalization of the techniques in association analysis for real-valued data can be utilized to extract coherent functional modules from large microarray data sets. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2008.2184.1 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 22:42:34 UTC Association Analysis Techniques for Discovering Functional Modules from Microarray Data doi:10.1038/npre.2008.2184.1 2008-08-13 Gaurav Pandey Nature Precedings 2008-08-13T22:42:34Z Manuscript Genetics & Genomics Molecular Cell Biology Bioinformatics http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
