A system is described for cluster analysis of transcriptome data to arrange genes according to similarities in patterns of gene expression, yielding groups of genes with similar functions. This provides a useful tool for the further interpretation of transcriptome results.

Bailey takes the view that a better understanding of gene-phenotype relationships will come from analysing physiological array data, dissecting the gene-environment interactions that generate the changes in phenotype, rather than to look for some change in phenotype associated with modification of a particular gene.
