SVM-T-RFE: A novel gene selection algorithm for identifying metastasis-related genes in colorectal cancer using gene expression profiles

► We developed a novel gene selection algorithm (SVM-T-RFE). ► We achieved highest classification accuracy (100%) in colorectal cancer datasets. ► SVM-T-RFE bestowed SVM-RFE algorithm. ► Selected genes are associated with colorectal cancer development or metastasis.
