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
