Abstract

Summary: Proteomics technology has shown promise in identifying biomarkers for disease, toxicant exposure and stress. We show by example that the genetic algorithm/k-nearest neighbors method, developed for mining high-dimensional microarray gene expression data, is also capable of mining surface enhanced laser desorption/ionization--time-of-flight proteomics data.
