Gene families, which are parts of a genome’s information storage hierarchy, play a significant role in the development and diversity of multicellular organisms. Several studies have focused on the characteristics of gene families, such as function, homology, or phenotype. However, statistical and correlation analyses on the distribution of gene family members in the genome have yet to be conducted. Here, a novel framework incorporating gene family analysis and genome selection based on NMF-ReliefF is reported. Specifically, the proposed method...
