Abstract

As DNA microarrays have been widely used for gene expression profiling and other fields, the importance of reliable probe design for microarray has been highlighted. First, the probe design for DNA microarray was formulated as a constrained multi-objective optimization task by investigating the characteristics of probe design. Then the probe set for human paillomavrius (HPV) was found using ε-multi-objective evolutionary algorithm with thermodynamic fitness calculation. The evolutionary optimization of probe set showed better results than the commercial microarray probe set made by Biomedlab Co. Korea.
