Abstract

This study extracted, from a roach gonad microarray data set, a gene regulation profile in contrast of male and female roaches. Then a method is developed to use this profile to discriminate the genders of the roaches involved in another roach microarray experiments in which the roaches are too young for their genders to be classifiable. The gender is an ignorable factor in roach gene expression study and the gender information is vital for the success of such a microarray study, because without the gender information the treatment effects could not be estimated correctly. A comparison of the analytical results of target data set based on with and without concerning the gender effects shows that the estimation of treatment effects is improved greatly when obtained gender information is incorporated in the data analysis. This is reversely evident that the roach gender discrimination method developed in this study performs very well.
