QServer: a biclustering server for prediction and assessment of co-expressed gene clusters.

<h4>Background</h4>Biclustering is a powerful technique for identification of co-expressed gene groups under any (unspecified) substantial subset of given experimental conditions, which can be used for elucidation of transcriptionally co-regulated genes.<h4>Results</h4>We hav...
