Abstract:

We analyzed .CEL files for two prostate cancer cell lines. For each cell line there are three replicates. The first three are not drug-resistant. The last three are drug-resistant. Most cancer patients at some time during treatment develop, MDR. We have queried our results using a large data base at NCI namely NCI-60. We developed a linear mixed model where the stochastic error term has a conjugate prior distribution. We have used frequentists and their Bayesian analogues to compare how many prostate cancer-causing genes are repeated in the simulation model. An MCMC model was used with 10000 burn-ins for the its convergence. We used Gibbs and Importance Sampling techniques. We discovered 328 prostate cancer-causing genes.
