My analysis uses methods developed for data mining microarray experiments, adapted for ageing research. Methods bridge knowledge of statistical mechanics with data mining methods developed in statistical mathematics. Analyses can reveal how the transcriptional regulation of genes might coincide, thereby implicating proteins as parts of networks acting together towards a common biological function. Such experiments are most useful for complex biological traits that result from the presumed functioning of several molecular pathways. Ageing is one such biological phenomenon that apparently incorporates numerous molecular mechanisms underlying environmental stimulus sensing, metabolic regulation, stress responses, reproductive signalling, hibernation, and transcriptional regulation.
