  • Besides obvious benefits in the interpretability of the learned classifiers, the set-level approach is mainly motivated by the problem of high feature dimension contrasting with the low number of available samples, which has been characteristic of gene expression data analysis.

  • Conversely, KDM1A+2a(-/-) hESCs give rise to functional cardiac cells, displaying increased beating amplitude and frequency and enhanced expression of critical cardiogenic markers. (ibecbarcelona.eu)
  • Individual oscillating cells are synchronized with their neighbors, forming a coherent wave pattern of gene expression. (ens-lyon.fr)
  • Fusing a target protein to a reporter can also change the protein's behavior, including its cellular localization and expression level. (wikidoc.org)
