It focuses on some of the biological mechanisms driving the development of genomic signal processing in addition to their manifestation in gene-expression-based classification and genetic network modeling. Certain problems are inherent. For instance small-sample error estimation variable selection and model complexity are important issues for both phenotype classification and expression prediction used in network inference. A long-term goal is to develop intervention strategies to drive network behavior which is briefly discussed. It is hoped that this nontechnical paper demonstrates that the field of signal processing has the potential to impact and help drive genomics research. Keywords and phrases functional genomics gene network genomics genomic signal processing microarray. 1. INTRODUCTION Sequences and clones for over a million expressed sequence tagged sites ESTs are currently publicly available. Only a minority of these identified clusters contains genes associated with a known functionality. One way of gaining insight into a gene s role in cellular activity is to study its expression pattern in a variety of circumstances and contexts as it responds to its environment and to the action of other genes. Recent methods facilitate large-scale .
