Microarray image analysis based on an evolutionary approach

Abstract

Biological conclusions reached during microarray experiments can be greatly affected by human intervention, which is currently required in microarray image analysis. Therefore, accurate and automatic analysis of cDNA microarray images becomes crucial. In this paper, an automatic approach to microarray image analysis is presented. The proposed approach is based on the concept of evolution in order to process the microarray images. Conducted experiments in a set of real microarray images confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
