Abstract
Methods, systems and apparatus for detecting patterns in constituents of at least one biological organism are disclosed. In accordance with one method, clusters of the constituents are determined () by selecting () different subsets of at least one of genes or proteins and identifying () the clusters from biological data corresponding to the selected subsets. Here, membership values for the constituents, indicating membership within the clusters, are calculated for use as a basis of an additional cluster determination process () to obtain final clusters of constituents. By underpinning the preliminary clustering on different subsets of biological data and formulating the higher-level clustering on the basis of the membership values, the embodiments can enable an evaluation of a large variety of biological data in a practical, accurate and highly efficient manner.
