• Objective: acquire a complete understanding
of the genetic factors that:
– specify stem cell identity and function; and
– regulate commitment and differentiation
• Rationale:
– Stem cells play an essential role in the human body as
they provide the starting material for every organ and
tissue
– Knowledge of regulatory genes acting in and on stem
cells is necessary to exploit their full therapeutic
potential

Marker detection
Use microarray data to identify
probe sets that can act as markers.
What and how they mark is a
separate issue.
Krzyzanowski and Andrade (2007) Identification of novel stem cell markers using
gap analysis of gene expression data. Submitted.
Method Overview
• Identification
– Find probe sets which appear to divide samples
into two groups binary classifications
Method Overview
• Identification
– Find probe sets which appear to divide samples
into two groups binary classifications
• Cluster expansion
– Identify clusters of probe sets which support binary
classifications
• Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curves are
used to generate clusters of probe sets with
expression patterns which can reproduce each
binary classification.
