The small number of samples in many microarray experiments is a challenge for the correct identification of differentially expressed gens (DEGs) by conventional statistical means. Information from public microarray databases can help more efficient identification of DEGs. To model various experimental conditions of a public microarray database, we applied Gaussian mixture model and extracted bi- or tri-modal distributions of gene expression. Prior variance of Baldis Bayesian framework was estimate for the analysis of the small sample-sized datasets.
