MicroArray Chromosome Analysis Tool
Description
This library contains functions to investigate links
between differential gene expression and the chromosomal
localization of the genes. MACAT is motivated by the common
observation of phenomena involving large chromosomal regions
in tumor cells. MACAT is the implementation of a statistical
approach for identifying significantly differentially
expressed chromosome regions. The functions have been tested
on a publicly available data set about acute lymphoblastic
leukemia (Yeoh et al.Cancer Cell 2002), which is provided in
the library 'stjudem'.
