Due to the wide application of microarray technology,enormous amount of gene expression data have been generated for disease study like cancer research.For each type of cancer multiple microarray profiles may be scattered around.The common limits are: Often a long list of statistically significant genes without any unifying biology theme are found; single-gene analysis may miss important pathway effects; lists of statistically significant genes from two studies may show distressingly little overlap.
