The objective of the present paper is to develop a truly functional Bayesian method specifically designed for time series microarray data. The method allows one to identify differentially expressed genes in a time-course microarray experiment, to rank them and to estimate their expression profiles. Each gene expression profile is modeled as an expansion over some orthonormal basis, where the coefficients and the number of basis functions are estimated from the data. The proposed procedure deals successfully with various technical difficulties that arise in typical microarray experiments such as a small number of observations, non-uniform sampling intervals and missing or replicated data. The procedure allows one to account for various types of errors and offers a good compromise between nonparametric techniques and techniques based on normality assumptions. In addition, all evaluations are performed using analytic expressions, so the entire procedure requires very small computational effort. The procedure is studied using both simulated and real data, and is compared with competitive recent approaches. Finally, the procedure is applied to a case study of a human breast cancer cell line stimulated with estrogen. We succeeded in finding new significant genes that were not marked in an earlier work on the same dataset.

All microRNA (miRNA) target—finder algorithms return lists of candidate target genes. How valid is that output in a biological setting? Transcriptome analysis has proven to be a useful approach to determine mRNA targets. Time course mRNA microarray experiments may reliably identify downregulated genes in response to overexpression of specific miRNA. The approach may miss some miRNA targets that are principally downregulated at the protein level. However, the high-throughput capacity of the assay makes it an effective tool to rapidly identify a large number of promising miRNA targets. Finally, loss and gain of function miRNA genetics have the clear potential of being critical in evaluating the biological relevance of thousands of target genes predicted by bioinformatic studies and to test the degree to which miRNA-mediated regulation of any “validated” target functionally matters to the animal or plant.

Microarray technology allows the monitoring of expression levels for thousands of genes simultaneously. In time-course microarray experiments in which gene expression is monitored over time, we are interested in clustering genes that show similar temporal profiles and identifying genes that show a pre-specified candidate profile. Unfortunately, many traditional clustering methods used for analyzing microarray data do not effectively detect temporal profiles for the time-course microarray data. We propose a rank-based clustering analysis for the time-course microarray data. Our clustering method consists of two steps: the first step discretizes the expression data into groups and then transform them into the rank data, the second step performs the rank-based clustering analysis. Our testing procedure uses the bootstrap samples to select the genes that show similar patterns for the candidate profiles. Simulation study is performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed rank-based method. The results are illustrated with the breast cancer data and the Arabidopsis cold stress data.
