Recent high throughput technologies such as microarrays have made it possible to accurately and efficiently monitor transcription levels of thousands of genes in parallel. Genomic data generated by these microarray experiments offer tremendous potential for advances in molecular biology and functional genomics. With the exploding volume of genomics data, the analysis and integration of datasets to extract biological meaning becomes challenging.

520 $a Recent high throughput technologies such as microarrays have made it possible to accurately and efficiently monitor transcription levels of thousands of genes in parallel. Genomic data generated by these microarray experiments offer tremendous potential for advances in molecular biology and functional genomics. With the exploding volume of genomics data, the analysis and integration of datasets to extract biological meaning becomes challenging.
520 $a Cluster analysis is typically the first step in expression data analysis and knowledge discovery. Many cluster analysis algorithms have been developed to analyze gene expression microarray data. However, due to high computational cost, most algorithms are not time effective and fail when clustering larger datasets. To overcome this limitation, we have developed a new memory efficient clustering algorithm which performs clustering of extremely large datasets in minimal time. We have implemented this algorithm as a software tool (HPCluster), which is designed to provide the research community with an easy and manageable client-server Windows application.
520 $a Another key analysis for extracting biological information from genomics data is the elicitation of gene interaction networks underlying complex diseases. MicroRNAs add another complex layer to these gene regulatory networks. Recently, microRNAs have been found to be key regulators of gene expression and are involved in many biological processes. However, the impact of microRNA mediated gene regulation in complex diseases is largely unknown. This dissertation has made an attempt to develop a strategy to combine the gene expression data and microRNA expression data to generate microRNA regulatory networks that might be involved in the changes observed in the gene expression. We developed new tools to streamline the process while incorporating several publicly available bioinformatics resources. As a proof of principle, we apply this approach to identify the molecular mechanisms of leptin mediated weight loss in a systems-oriented manner. We found several genes, microRNAs, subnetworks, pathways, biological processes, microRNA-mRNA modules that respond to leptin treatment and might be involved in leptin-mediated weight loss in ob/ob mice. These findings will help researchers in hypothesis generation to carry out further studies to find the precise molecular mechanisms of leptin action and for the treatment of obesity.
