Row Quantile Normalisation of Microarrays
نویسنده
چکیده
Variation in tissue sample preparation leads to variation across the Transcriptome not just between experiments but to between individual microarrays. Normalisation is essential before data from different arrays can be compared. Quantile normalisation can be used to force data from a single GeneChip to take a given distribution. However quantile normalisation can be blind to the consistent spatial variation we note in thousands of Affymetrix’ High-density oligonucleotide array (HDONAs) from NCBI GEO. We propose a simple computationally efficient normalisation technique which takes into account the spatial aspect. BioConductor R code is included.

A comparison of normalisation methods for peptide microarrays
When measuring the response of peptide microarrays, the overall brightness can often differ due to differences in slide preparation or settings of instruments. If this is the case and the slides are to be compared they need to be normalised. Today there is no agreed standard method of normalisation for peptide microarrays although several methods exist. Four of the methods in this thesis are ad...
متن کاملSupervised Quantile Normalisation
Quantile normalisation is a popular normalisation method for data subject to unwanted variations such as images, speech, or genomic data. It applies a monotonic transformation to the feature values of each sample to ensure that after normalisation, they follow the same target distribution for each sample. Choosing a "good" target distribution remains however largely empirical and heuristic, and...

متن کاملRemoving technical variability in RNA-seq data using conditional quantile normalization
The ability to measure gene expression on a genome-wide scale is one of the most promising accomplishments in molecular biology. Microarrays, the technology that first permitted this, were riddled with problems due to unwanted sources of variability. Many of these problems are now mitigated, after a decade's worth of statistical methodology development. The recently developed RNA sequencing (RN...
متن کاملCustom Design and Analysis of High-Density Oligonucleotide Bacterial Tiling Microarrays
BACKGROUND High-density tiling microarrays are a powerful tool for the characterization of complete genomes. The two major computational challenges associated with custom-made arrays are design and analysis. Firstly, several genome dependent variables, such as the genome's complexity and sequence composition, need to be considered in the design to ensure a high quality microarray. Secondly, sin...
