Unraveling the Genetic Tapestry: Ontological Mapping and Survival Modeling of Gene Expression Biomarkers for Autism Spectrum Disorder detection

The following are the primary contributions of this study:
* Proposed a remarkable 2-step feature extraction technique that blends statistics and ML to identify ASD-genetic features.
* Introduced a novel Gene Pathway Analysis framework to identify ASD biomarkers from high-dimensional genomic data.
* Conducted Ontological Analysis to discover critical gene connections, that aids in the exact diagnosis and an awareness of autism.
* Performed Survival Analysis on gene data, uncovering key time-linked biomarkers associated with autism progression.
