A multi-objective optimization approach for the identification of cancer biomarkers from RNA-seq data

作者:

Highlights:

• A new gene selection method for cancer biomarker identification has been developed.

• The method combines feature selection, SVM, and ABCD algorithm.

• The evaluation has been performed with five RNA-seq cancer datasets.

• Comparisons have been done with five gene selection methods from other authors.

• The biological relevance has been analysed, showing the good results of the proposal.
