  abstract =     "Commercial GeneChips provide highly redundant but
                 noisy data. Rapid identification and subsequent
                 rejection of bad data effectively increases the quality
                 of the remaining data at little cost whilst serving as
                 a basis for better understanding the bio-physics of
                 short surface mounted DNA sequences.

                 Affymetrix High Density Oligonuclotide Arrays (HDONA)
                 simultaneously measure expression of thousands of genes
                 using millions of probes. Regular expressions can be
                 evolved from a Backus-Naur form (BNF) context-free
                 grammar using tree based strongly typed genetic
                 programming written in gawk. Fitness is given by egrep.
                 The quality of individual HG-U133A probes is indicated
                 by its correlation across 6685 human tissue samples
                 from NCBI's GEO database with other measurements for
                 the same gene. Low concordance indicates a poor probe.
                 The evolved data mined motif is better at predicting
                 poor DNA sequences than an existing human generated RE,
                 suggesting runs of Cytosine and Guanine and mixtures
                 should all be avoided. Section 4.6 gives more RE GP
                 gawk implementation details.
