Abstract Gene expression signatures consisting of tens to hundreds of genes have been found to be informative for different biological states. Recently many computational methods have been proposed for biological interpretation of such signatures. However there is a lack of methods for identifying cell signaling pathways whose deregulation results in an observed expression signature. We present a strategy for identifying such signaling pathways and evaluate the strategy using six human and mouse gene expression signatures. Background Genetic aberrations and variations in cellular processes are usually reflected in the expression levels of many genes. Hence such alterations can potentially be characterized by their gene expression profiles. Gene expression profiling in particular DNA microarray analysis has been widely used in attempts to reveal the underlying mechanisms of many diseases different developmental stages cellular responses to different conditions and many .
