Introduction

Functional genomics is a field of molecular biology that attempts to make use of the vast wealth of data produced by genomic projects (such as genome sequencing projects) to describe gene (and protein) functions and interactions. Unlike genomics and proteomics, functional genomics focuses on the dynamic aspects such as gene transcription, translation, and protein-protein interactions, as opposed to the static aspects of the genomic information such as DNA sequence or structures. Functional genomics includes function-related aspects of the genome itself such as mutation and polymorphism (such as SNP) analysis, as well as measurement of molecular activities. The latter comprise a number of “-omics” such as transcriptomics (gene expression), proteomics (protein expression), phosphoproteomics and metabolomics. Together these measurement modalities quantifies the various biological processes and powers the understanding of gene and protein functions and interactions. Functional genomics uses mostly high-throughput techniques to characterize the abundance gene products such as mRNA and proteins.

Introduction
Genetic research has been transformed by technological developments, and has by necessity become extremely quantitative, as massive quantities of varying complex data types can now be generated very rapidly. High-throughput data are being used in a variety of basic science investigations that have implications in the diagnosis and treatment of human disease: identification and characterization of genetic variants associated with a particular disease within and across populations; discovery of gene expression signatures associated with disease phenotypes; identification and testing of potential disease biomarkers. Methodological advances in the statistical treatment and interpretation of these data are needed in order to meet the pressing need for powerful, efficient and robust analysis.

Introduction
Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence which is concerned with the development of algorithms and techniques that allow computers to learn. These techniques are tolerant of imprecision, uncertainty, partial truth, and approximation. There have emerged many methods based on machine learning techniques, such as Artificial Neural Networks (NNs), Support Vector Machines (SVMs), Decision Tree (DT), Bayesian Networks (BNs), Hidden Markov Models (HMMs), etc. These techniques attempt to study, model, and analyze very complex phenomena  for which more conventional methods have not yielded low cost, analytic, and complete solutions.

Bioinformatics is the application of information technology to the area of molecular biology. The increase in the number and complexity of biological databases has raised the need for powerful data analysis tools and techniques. To fulfill these requirements, the machine learning discipline has become an everyday tool in bio-laboratories (Inza et al., 2010). Machine learning techniques have been successful in analyzing biological data because of their capabilities in handling randomness and uncertainty of data noise and in approximation.

The Madrid System for the International Registration of Marks is governed by two treaties. The first one is he Madrid Agreement, which was concluded in 1891 and revised at Brussels (1900), Washington (1911), The Hague (1925), London (1934), Nice (1957) and Stockholm (1967), and amended in 1979. The other one is the Protocol related to this agreement which was concluded in 1989. The aims of this protocol are to make the Madrid system more flexible and more compatible with the domestic legislation of certain countries or intergovernmental organizations that had not been able to accede to the Agreement.

A microarray, as the name suggests, is a two dimensional array of microscopic probes which captures certain molecules in an environment by a process known as hybridization, and are used to detect quantities of these molecules in the environment. The probes can vary according to requirement of experiment, and so can the environment, which in technical terms is an extract of tissue under study.
