<p>I have a couple of modified ML methods that I want to test with biological binary data - specifically binary gene expression data - e.g. <a href="https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/69359/1/Thesis.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/69359/1/Thesis.pdf</a> that might include a variable that could be used to be the target variable in ML classification. What I mean by binary data is the features are all either 0 or 1, so I expect a large dataset e.g this thesis. I am looking for any suggestions.</p>

Please [edit] your question and make it a bit more specific What kind of "biological data" do you need? How large a dataset? What do you mean by "binary"? Are you referring to the format of the data or do you want something that can only have two states?
