Robustness considerations in selecting efficient two-color microarray designs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main goal of microarray experiments is to select a small subset of genes that are differentially expressed among competing mRNA samples. For a given set of such mRNA samples, it is possible to consider a number of two-color cDNA microarray designs with a fixed number of arrays. Appropriate criteria can be used to select an efficient design from such a set of alternative experimental designs. In practice, however, microarray expression data often contain missing observations and the most efficient design (with complete observations) for a specific setup may not be efficient in the presence of missing observations. In this article, we propose two criteria to address the robustness of microarray designs against missing observations. We demonstrate the simultaneous use of efficiency and robustness criteria to select good microarray designs for both one-factor and multi-factor experiments.

Two-color microarray experiments form an important tool in gene expression analysis. They are often used to identify candidate genes that can be made accountable for the genesis of a certain disease. Due to the high costs of microarray experiments it is fundamental to design these experiments carefully and specifically give instructions, which samples should be allocated on the same microarray....

MOTIVATION Three-color microarrays, compared with two-color microarrays, can increase design efficiency and power to detect differential expression without additional samples and arrays. Furthermore, three-color microarray technology is currently available at a reasonable cost. Despite the potential advantages, clear guidelines for designing and analyzing three-color experiments do not exist. ...

Experimental designs that efficiently embed a fixed effects treatment structure within a random effects design structure typically require a mixed-model approach to data analyses. Although mixed model software tailored for the analysis of two-color microarray data is increasingly available, much of this software is generally not capable of correctly analyzing the elaborate incomplete block desi...
