Gene Expression Biomarker
Definition
• A set of sequences/genes/transcripts
identified via some sequence database
(Entrez Gene, GenBank, Affymetrix,…)
• Each sequences’ expression value
• An algorithm that allows a new gene
expression profile to be matched against
the Biomarker and produces a score

GenSigDB
• http://compbio.dfci.harvard.edu/genesigdb/
• Significant Gene Lists from PubMed
Articles
• Does not include signatures
• Hosted by Dana Farber Cancer Institute
Challenges
• Gene Lists are embedded in articles
• Often there is no clear algorithm included
in articles to add new gene profiles
