GeneSrF: gene selection with random forests

GeneSrF is a web tool for gene selection in classification problems that uses random forest. Two approaches for gene selection are used: one is targeted towards identifying small, non-redundant sets of genes that have good predictive performance. The second is a more heuristic graphical approach that can be used to identify large sets of genes (including redundant genes) related to the outcome of interest. The first approach is described in detail in this paper. The R code is available as an R package from CRAN or from this link. For further details see the help.

To use this web tool you need to provide two files, one with the gene expression data and one with the class labels, and press "Submit".
