Image Analysis with beadarray
نویسنده
چکیده
From version 2.0 beadarray provides more flexibility in the processing of array images and the extraction of bead intensities than its predecessor. In the past intensity extraction from array images by beadarray attmepted to emulated that performed by Illumina, with minimal opportunities for deviation from this. Whilst the default approach taken in beadarray is still to emulated Illumina, we have made each step modular, in order to allow greater flexibility for the user. This vignette is designed to show how one can read the TIFF images from the BeadArray scanner and implement alternative feature intensity extraction algorithms.

beadarray: R classes and methods for Illumina bead-based data
UNLABELLED The R/Bioconductor package beadarray allows raw data from Illumina experiments to be read and stored in convenient R classes. Users are free to choose between various methods of image processing, background correction and normalization in their analysis rather than using the defaults in Illumina's; proprietary software. The package also allows quality assessment to be carried out on ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Bead-level Data using beadarray
beadarray is a package for the pre-processing and analysis of Illumina BeadArray. The main advantage is being able to read raw data output by Illumina’s scanning software. Data presented in this form are in the same format regardless of the assay (i.e expression, genotyping, methylation) being performed. Thus, beadarray is able to handle all these types of data. Many functions within beadarray ...

The defining characteristics of the BeadArray are its random construction (Gunderson et al. (2004)), and the coexistence of multiple arrays on a single chip. The random construction extends to both the contents and the layout of the array, so that while a typical probe will have about 20 replicates scattered across the array surface, the number of replicates for a probe can range from 0 (entire...
متن کاملBeadArray Expression Analysis Using Bioconductor
Illumina whole-genome expression BeadArrays are a popular choice in gene profiling studies. Aside from the vendor-provided software tools for analyzing BeadArray expression data (GenomeStudio/BeadStudio), there exists a comprehensive set of open-source analysis tools in the Bioconductor project, many of which have been tailored to exploit the unique properties of this platform. In this article,...
متن کاملA statistical framework for Illumina DNA methylation arrays
MOTIVATION The Illumina BeadArray is a popular platform for profiling DNA methylation, an important epigenetic event associated with gene silencing and chromosomal instability. However, current approaches rely on an arbitrary detection P-value cutoff for excluding probes and samples from subsequent analysis as a quality control step, which results in missing observations and information loss. I...
