Abstract

The analysis of Gene Expression Data from DNA microarray experiments tend
to become an important tool in understanding the mechanism of living
systems. The microarray experiments provide us with a large amount of data
from which is not trivial to understand the significant biological
processes or molecular functions.

Clustering methods based on the numerical expression data have been used
to solve this problem but it seems that their result do not show
biological relevance. New methods have been proposed in which the
Gene-Ontology database is used to gain biological understanding and based
on this some statistics are used to find the most significant genes, and
thus the biological process.

Unfortunately the last methods do not look too deep at the structure of
the GO when computing the statistics. We belief that a more closer look at
the topology of the GO will improve the results. Our goal is to find
methods that use the topology of the GO for a better biological
understanding of the Gene Expression Data.
