I suggest you check out GenCANS (Gene Classification Artificial Neural
System), developed at the University of Texas Health Center at Tyler by
Dr. Cathy H. Wu and colleagues. GenCANs URL is
http://diana.uthct.edu/~nih/GenCANS/GenCANS.html
Also there are the references:

Hope that helps,
Sorry for the delay, :-)
