We investigated gene expression related to distinction of three types by microarray. Different gene expression was found between invasive and superficial types. Results suggest that different macroscopic appearances may be related to unusual gene expression.

Short Abstract: mRNA isoforms reflect the integrated outcome of molecular regulation and is thus a more effective measure towards understanding the state of the cell. We have identified mRNA isoform features using statistical and recursive-SVM based feature selection methods. We address the question of understanding which features best represent class separation biologically.

Ulrich Bodenhofer (Johannes Kepler University, Institute of Bioinformatics); Sepp Hochreiter (Johannes Kepler University, Institute of Bioinformatics);
Short Abstract: Non-reliable/bad probes of oligonucleotide microarrays fail to spot signals which are detected and by the majority of probes in a probe set. We predict “bad” probes from the nucleotide sequence using SVMs and spectrum kernels with accuracies between 60 and 75% where, surprisingly, the models generalize to other platforms.
