Normalization of cDNA microarray data.

چکیده
Normalization means to adjust microarray data for effects which arise from variation in the technology rather than from biological differences between the RNA samples or between the printed probes. This paper describes normalization methods based on the fact that dye balance typically varies with spot intensity and with spatial position on the array. Print-tip loess normalization provides a well-tested general purpose normalization method which has given good results on a wide range of arrays. The method may be refined by using quality weights for individual spots. The method is best combined with diagnostic plots of the data which display the spatial and intensity trends. When diagnostic plots show that biases still remain in the data after normalization, further normalization steps such as plate-order normalization or scale-normalization between the arrays may be undertaken. Composite normalization may be used when control spots are available which are known to be not differentially expressed. Variations on loess normalization include global loess normalization and two-dimensional normalization. Detailed commands are given to implement the normalization techniques using freely available software.

Normalization of cDNA Microarray Data By Using Neural Networks
In microarray experiments, there are a variety of systematic errors to affect the measured gene expression levels. Although a number of algorithms were proposed for the normalization of different type of cDNA microarray data, they have encountered many difficulties due to the complex nonlinear sources of systematic error. In this case, a nonlinear normalization method is of great potential to d...

متن کاملIdentification and Normalization of Plate Effects in Cdna Microarray Data
Introducing a new way of visualizing cDNA microarray data we have identified a new type of systematic variation, which we refer to as plate effects. We believe that plate effects are due to non-biological differences in the cDNA clones products spotted onto the microarray slides. By comparing the consistency of all replicates (both within and between slides) after performing 42 different normal...
متن کاملA Two-Way Semi-Linear Model for Normalization and Significant Analysis of cDNA Microarray Data
A basic question in analyzing cDNA microarray data is normalization. The purpose of normalization is to remove systematic bias in the observed expression values by establishing a normalization curve across the whole dynamic range. A proper normalization procedure ensures that the normalized intensity ratios provide meaningful measures of relative expression levels. We propose a two-way semi-lin...
