Coexpressionfinder: a new algorithm for finding groups of coexpressed genes.
RESULTS
A new algorithm is developed which is intended to find groups of genes whose expression values change in a concordant manner in a series of experiments with DNA arrays. This algorithm is named as CoexpressionFinder. It can find more complete and internally coordinated groups of gene expression vectors than hierarchical clustering. Also, it finds more genes having coordinated expression. The algorithm's design allows parallel execution.


BACKGROUND
The algorithm is implemented as a Java application which is freely available at: http://www.bioinformatics.ru/cf/index.jsp and http://bioinformatics.ru/cf/index.jsp.
