GeneExpressionSignature

This package is for version 2.12 of Bioconductor; for the stable, up-to-date release version, see GeneExpressionSignature.

Gene Expression Signature based Similarity Metric

Bioconductor version: 2.12

This package gives the implementations of the gene expression signature and its distance to each. Gene expression signature is represented as a list of genes whose expression is correlated with a biological state of interest. And its distance is defined using a nonparametric, rank-based pattern-matching strategy based on the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic. Gene expression signature and its distance can be used to detect similarities among the signatures of drugs, diseases, and biological states of interest.
