Abstract

The project aims to develop novel statistical tools to find biologically meaningful groupings in gene expression profiles across multiple samples. It will use Bayesian hierarchical models to integrate sources of variability, prior knowledge, assessment of uncertainty and the flexibility to cope with variable dimension problems. To ensure efficient knowledge transfer to the Microarray community, the tools developed will be installed in the Microarray Centre at Imperial College. The project is built around a close collaboration between statisticians and molecular biologists. Through these interactions, the essential interplay between relevant scientific questions arising from genomics experiments and model development will be accomplished. (Joint with grant 7/EGM16096).
