Concerns about unreliable data from spotted cDNA microarrays due to cross-hybridization and sequence errors.

چکیده
We discuss our concerns regarding the reliability of data generated by spotted cDNA microarrays. Two types of error we highlight are cross-hybridization artifact due to sequence homologies and sequence errors in the cDNA used for spotting on microarrays. We feel that statisticians who analyze microarray data should be aware of these sources of unreliability intrinsic to cDNA microarray design and use.

Evidence of cross-hybridization artifact in expressed sequence tags (ESTs) on cDNA microarrays
We present evidence of cross-hybridization artifact intrinsic to spotted single-dye cDNA microarrays as a result of cDNA containing 5’-end sequences of consecutive thymidine (dT) residues. These poly(dT) tracts result from the synthesis, via oligo (dT) primed reverse transcription, of expressed sequence tags (EST) cDNA from a polyadenylated mRNA template. Analysis of gene expression data from t...
متن کاملEvidence of systematic expressed sequence tag IMAGE clone cross-hybridization on cDNA microarrays.
We present evidence of a potentially serious source of error intrinsic to all spotted cDNA microarrays that use IMAGE clones of expressed sequence tags (ESTs). We found that a high proportion of these EST sequences contain 5'-end poly(dT) sequences that are remnants from the oligo(dT)-primed reverse transcription of polyadenylated mRNA templates used to generate EST cDNA for sequence clone libr...

متن کاملHybridization cross-reactivity within homologous gene families on glass cDNA microarrays.
Glass cDNA microarrays can be used to profile the expression of thousands of gene targets in a single experiment. However, the potential for hybridization cross-reactivity needs to be considered when interpreting the results. Here, we describe hybridization experiments with a model array representing four distinct functional classes (families): chemokines, cytochrome P-450 isozymes, G proteins,...
متن کاملSequence dependence of cross-hybridization on short oligo microarrays
One of the critical problems in the short oligo microarray technology is how to deal with cross-hybridization that produces spurious data. Little is known about the details of cross-hybridization effect at molecular level. Here, we report a free energy analysis of cross-hybridization on short oligo microarrays using data from a spike-in study. Our analysis revealed that cross-hybridization on t...
