Microarray technology in biological science enables molecular level observations and analyses on the biological phenomina by allowing to measure the RNA expression profiles in cells. Microarray data analysis is applied in various purposes such as identifying significant genes which react to drug treatment, understanding the genome scale phenomina. In drug response experiments, the microarray-based gene expression analysis could provide meaningful information. It is sometimes needed to identify the genes which shows different expression behavior for treatment group and normal group each other. When the normal group shows the medium level expression, it is not easy to discriminate the group just by expression level comparison. This paper proposes a method which selects group-wise representative values for each gene and sets the value range of the groups in order to filter out the genes with specific pattern. It also shows some experiment results.
