G06F 19/20 - Definition
This group covers:
Analysis of gene expression information. This includes microarray analysis, gel electrophoresis analysis and sequencing by hybridisation. Further covered technologies include probe design and probe optimisation, microarray normalisation, expression profiling, noise correction models, expression ratio estimation.
Mere mention of hybridisation or gene expression is not sufficient to classify in this group. In such cases, see the other subgroups of group G06F 19/10 following this one in the scheme.
Relationship between large subject matter areas
This group does not cover base calling or sequencing methods per se. These are covered by the relevant places listed under section Informative References for group G06F 19/10.
