Abstract

This paper addresses the clustering and classification of active genes during the process of cell division. Cell division ensures the proliferation of cells, but becomes drastically aberrant in cancer cells. The studied genes are described by their expression profiles (i.e. time series) during the cell division cycle. This work focuses on evaluating the efficiency of four major metrics for clustering and classifying gene expression profiles. The study is based on a random-periods model for the expression of cell-cycle genes. The model accounts for the observed attenuation in cycle amplitude or duration, variations in the initial amplitude, and drift in the expression profiles.
