<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>The study of DNA microarray gene extraction methods is an important and current area of research. Many researchers study gene ontological character, which contain significant information about symptoms of illnesses in tissues, types of organisms, and the distinguishing of some organisms’ features. DNA microarray gene extraction methods allow us to choose the most significant genes for a given problem and some ways of their extraction. In this article, we aim to compare three methods of gene extraction. The first and second types are based on, respectively, the modified Fisher and F statistics methods.
