Abstract: Many gene selection algorithms have been applied in gene expression data analysis successfully. To solve different developing environments of these toolkits, such as rankgene (Su et al., 2003), and mRMR(http: //research.janelia.org/peng/proj/mrmr/index.htm), perform data analysis and make algorithm comparison more flexible, we have developed a software package LIBGS including: seven new gene selection algorithms implemented using MATLAB; a MATLAB interface for Rankgene; a MATLAB interface for LIBSVM and WEKA; programs for converting data formats; a collection of six popular gene expression data sets. These features make LIBGS a useful tool in gene expression analysis and feature selection.

Keywords: LIBGS; feature selection algorithms; MATLAB; gene selection; gene expression data analysis.
