Summary

In a microarray dataset, the expression profiles of a large amount of genes are recorded. Identifying the influential genes from these genes is one of main research topics of bioinformatics and has drawn many attentions. In this chapter, we briefly overview the existing gene selection approaches and summarize the main challenges of gene selection. After that, we detail the strategies to address these challenges. Also, using a typical gene selection model as example, we show the implementation of these strategies and evaluate their contributions.
