BALBOA – Extension of Bicluster Analysis to allow for the Functional Classification of ORFs

BALBOA

:: DESCRIPTION

BALBOA is an ORF (Open Reading Frame) annotation approach, in which classifiers are constructed from the class specific expression patterns discovered by bicluster analysis. Firstly a set of bicluster classifiers is build using a labelled training set from the annotated ORFs in the expression data. These biclusters are then used to classify an unlabelled ORF set i.e. the unannotated ORFs from the expression dataset.
