  4. Quantification of Spot Intensity • BlueFuse • QuantArray • ScanAlyze • NHGRI – Scanalytics • Imagene • GenePix • ArrayVision • TIGR Spotfinder

  5. BlueFuse

  6. Analysis of Microarray Data • Scan the images • Quantify intensity of spots • Normalization • Analysis of data • Identification of genes of interest • Validation

  7. Normalization • To identify and remove sources of systematic variation in the measured fluorescence intensities due to factors other than differential expression: • Spatial effects • Dye effects • Comparison of expression levels within and between microarrays.

  8. Spatial Effects

  9. MA Plots Before normalization After normalization M = log2R – log2G A = (log2R+ log2G)/2

  10. Analysis of Microarray Data • Scan the images • Quantify intensity of spots • Normalization • Analysis of data • Identification of genes of interest • Validation

  11. Analysis of Data GeneSpring

  12. Analysis of Microarray Data • Scan the images • Quantify intensity of spots • Normalization • Analysis of data • Identification of genes of interest • Validation

  13. Identification of Genes of Interest • Microarray analysis can identify hundreds of differentially expressed genes. • How do you identify genes of particular interest?

  14. Data Mining Tools • Literature searches • Chilibot (www.chilibot.net) • Protein Annotator’s Assistant (www.ebi.ac.uk/paa) • iHOP (www.pdg.cnb.uam.es/UniPub/iHOP) • Pathway searches • DAVID & EASE (www.david.niaid.nih.gov/david) • Biorag (www.biorag.org) • Transcription factor binding sites • MatInspector (www.genomatrix.de)

  15. Analysis of Microarray Data • Scan the images • Quantify intensity of spots • Normalization • Analysis of data • Identification of genes of interest • Validation

  16. Validation • Confirm microarray results by: • qRT-PCR • Northern blots • Confirm biological significance by investigating protein expression: • Western blots

  17. Conclusions (3) • Several stages are involved in analyzing microarray data: • Scan images • Quantify spots • Statistical analysis • There are many different soft-ware packages and methods for this analysis. • Further analysis is required to pin-point genes of interest. • Microarray results need to be validated by other methods.

  18. Conclusions (general) • Microarray experiments are expensive. • Microarray experiments are time-consuming. • Microarray experiments generate huge amounts of data. • The quality of the data obtained from a microarray experiment depends on: • Design of the experiment • Quality of RNA • Statistical analysis • Interpretation of the data • There is, at present, no definitive method for either designing or analyzing a microarray experiment.
