Gene Expression Analysis

Caption

Researchers at the University of Maryland defined six interactions in which each gene in a pair could be expressed at a low, medium or high level. They then considered that each of those combinations could be associated with a "positive" or "negative" outcome for patient survival. That brought the total number of potential gene-pair relationship types to 12. When they analyzed data from 5,288 cancer tumors, they found 72,000 gene pairs fit into this grid and were associated positively or negatively with patient survival.
