| Abstract | As the field of bioinformatics has grown in importance, more and more studies have investigated the use of gene microarray datasets to understand cancer. Although much of this research has focused on which genes are differently-expressed between cancerous and non-cancerous tissues, an equally important question is which genes are most useful for predicting the success of cancer treatment. How well a patient will respond to a given treatment depends on the specifics of their cancer, and biopsies alone cannot detect genetic markers; thus, gene chips are an increasingly valuable research tool in this field. The problem of identifying which gene markers are predictive of successful response to treatment differs from more general cancer-identification and cancer-classification problems due to the expected similarities among all patients (since they share a cancer type), and thus it is important to understand this collection of datasets as a group separate from other cancer-related microarray datasets. The present work surveys research using gene microarray datasets for the task of patient response prediction, in particular research which uses this data to discover the best genes for predicting patient response. We discuss the methods and procedures of the surveyed papers and which approaches were used for gene selection, and present ideas and strategies for future work which further explores how to best identify gene signatures which can be used clinically to help select the best treatment for a given cancer. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
