    Abstract

    High-throughput technologies have led to an explosion in the availability of data at the genome scale. Such data provide important information about cellular processes and causes of human diseases, as well as for drug discovery. Deciphering the biologically relevant results from these data requires comprehensive analytical methods. In this dissertation, we present methods for gene and protein expression data analysis. Our major contributions include a method for differential in-gelelectrophoresis data analysis capable of removing protein-specific dye bias in the data, a method for finding unknown biological groups using expression data, and a method for identifying active and inactive signaling pathways in a gene expression signature based on the enrichment of downstream target genes of pathways.
