On Genetic Programming and Knowledge Discovery in Transcriptome Data

Abstract

This paper concerns the use of Genetic Programming (GP) for supervised classification of transcriptome (gene expression) data. In such applications GP can produce accurate predictive models that generalize well and use only very few gene expression values. It is often suggested that the selected genes are therefore of biological significance in discriminating the classes. The paper presents a preliminary study of successful parsimonious GP models to investigate the extent to which the selected variables contribute to the classification. The work is based on a readily available and well studied dataset that represents gene expression values for two groups of patients with different forms of Leukaemia.
