Abstract

Even though extensive work has been done on clustering gene expression data, none existing algorithms evaluates gene expression coherence simultaneously by both regulation direction and relative proportion. As an example, density-based algorithms group genes with similar expression levels together and may separate genes whose expression levels have a large difference in value but vary in a fixed proportion relative to one another. In order to simultaneously measure profile coherence in regulation proportion as well as regulation direction, we propose a novel tangent transformation method. Experimental results indicate that our tangent transformation method has enhanced the gene expression clustering results significantly. Our tangent transformation method can be flexibly applied for either global clustering or biclustering, in either unsupervised or supervised scenario.
