A Method to Search for Differentially Expressed Genes and to
Detect Recurrent Chromosomal Copy Number Aberrations
Description
A fold change rank based method is presented to search for genes with changing
expression and to detect recurrent chromosomal copy number aberrations. This
method may be useful for high-throughput biological data (micro-array, sequencing, ...).
Probabilities are associated with genes or probes in the data set and there is no
problem of multiple tests when using this method. For array-based comparative genomic
hybridization data, segmentation results are obtained by merging the significant
probes detected.
