Background: Numerous nonparametric approaches have been proposed in literature to detect differential gene expression in the setting of two user-defined groups. However, there is ...
Background: Normalization is the process of removing non-biological sources of variation between array experiments. Recent investigations of data in gene expression databases for ...
