Abstract
The present invention relates to systems, integrated computer software programs, and related methods for manipulation and analysis of gene expression data. The methods of the invention are particularly suited for use with gene expression data generated with microarray and genechip technologies. A particular embodiment of the invention relates to systems utilizing clustering algorithms, which may be used to correlate temporal patterns of gene expression. The invention also relates to graphical tools, search and sort functions for viewing both the original and processed gene expression data. The present invention also relates to a graphical user interface for data clustering, graphical viewing, and browsing.
