Exon array data analysis using Affymetrix power tools and R statistical software
The use of microarray technology to measure gene expression on a genome-wide scale has been well established for more than a decade. Methods to process and analyse the vast quantity of expression data generated by a typical microarray experiment are similarly well-established. The Affymetrix Exon 1.0 ST array is a relatively new type of array, which has the capability to assess expression at th...
متن کاملAlternative Splicing Detection Algorithms for Affymetrix Exon Array Data
Generating a variety of transcripts from a single gene is common in many organisms. This process, called alternative splicing, can be found in all classes of eukaryotes. In lower eukaryotes only a small fraction of genes undergoes alternative splicing, while in higher eukaryotes nearly all genes are alternatively spliced[1]. The function of this process is to increase the protein diversity [2]....
متن کاملReproducible probe-level analysis of the Affymetrix Exon 1.0 ST array with R/Bioconductor
The presence of different transcripts of a gene across samples can be analysed by whole-transcriptome microarrays. Reproducing results from published microarray data represents a challenge owing to the vast amounts of data and the large variety of preprocessing and filtering steps used before the actual analysis is carried out. To guarantee a firm basis for methodological development where resu...
متن کاملAnalysis of Affymetrix Exon Arrays
Exon arrays enable the monitoring of expression on a more fine-grained level than conventional 3' arrays. By targeting single exons alternative splicing events can be detected. However, the increased amount of data resulting from the denser coverage of the transcribed regions gives rise to new challenges in data analysis compared to 3' arrays. One must carefully decide which probes are consider...
متن کاملComprehensive Analysis of Affymetrix Exon Arrays Using BioConductor
Why BioConductor? BioConductor [1] is a collection of open source software packages designed to support the analysis of biological data. BioConductor is written using the programming language R, which itself provides access to a wide range of tools for statistical analysis, data presentation, and visualization. BioConductor has more than 200 packages representing not only analytical tools but a...
