Abstract:Minority Gene Expression Profiling (MGEP) refers to a scenario where the expression profiles of specific genes of interest are concentrated in a small cellular pool that is embedded within a larger, non-expressive pool. An example of this is the analysis of disease-related genes within sub-populations of blood or biopsied tissues. These systems are characterized by low signal-to-noise ratios that make it difficult, if not impossible, to uncover the desired signatures of pathogenesis in the absence of lengthy, … Show more
