Optimizing stringency for expression microarrays.
While several studies have reported methods to optimize expression microarray protocols, none have dealt directly with hybridization wash stringency. We designed a series of experiments to determine the optimal stringency conditions for microarray experiments, using reproducibility and magnitudes of log2 (test/reference) ratio values as measures of quality. Low-stringency wash conditions of cel...
متن کاملROSO: optimizing oligonucleotide probes for microarrays
UNLABELLED ROSO is software to design optimal oligonucleotide probe sets for microarrays. Selected probes show no significant cross-hybridization, no stable secondary structures and their Tm are chosen to minimize the Tm variability of the probe set. AVAILABILITY The program is available on the internet. Sources are freely available, for non-profit use, on request to the authors. SUPPLEMENT...
متن کاملOptimizing spotting solutions for increased reproducibility of cDNA microarrays.
The ability to extract meaningful information from transcriptome technologies such as cDNA microarrays relies on the precision, sensitivity and reproducibility of the measured values for a given gene across multiple samples. Given the lack of a 'gold standard' for the production of microarrays using current technologies, there is a high degree of variation in the quality of data derived from mi...
متن کاملExperimental design for gene expression microarrays.
We examine experimental design issues arising with gene expression microarray technology. Microarray experiments have multiple sources of variation, and experimental plans should ensure that effects of interest are not confounded with ancillary effects. A commonly used design is shown to violate this principle and to be generally inefficient. We explore the connection between microarray designs...
متن کاملExpression microarrays in equine sciences.
Microarrays have become an important research tool for life science researchers. Expression microarrays are capable of profiling the gene expression pattern of tens of thousands of genes in a single experiment. It appears to be the platform of choice for parallel gene expression profiling. Various equine-specific gene expression microarrays have been generated and used. However, homologous micr...
