A calibration method for estimating absolute expression levels from microarray data
TL;DR: This model consists of two major components, describing the hybridization of target transcripts to their corresponding probes on the one hand, and the measurement of fluorescence from the hybridized, labeled target on the other hand.

Abstract: Motivation: We describe an approach to normalize spotted microarray data, based on a physically motivated calibration model. This model consists of two major components, describing the hybridization of target transcripts to their corresponding probes on the one hand, and the measurement of fluorescence from the hybridized, labeled target on the other hand. The model parameters and error distributions are estimated from external control spikes.
Results: Using a publicly available dataset, we show that our procedure is capable of adequately removing the typical non-linearities of the data, without making any assumptions on the distribution of differences in gene expression from one biological sample to the next. Since our model links target concentration to measured intensity, we show how absolute expression values of target transcripts in the hybridization solution can be estimated up to a certain degree.

Integration of omics data: how well does it work for bacteria?
TL;DR: Several successful examples outlined in this review already show the potential of the systems approach for both fundamental and industrial applications, which would be time‐consuming or impossible to develop solely through traditional reductionist approaches.
Genome-wide expression analysis reveals TORC1-dependent and -independent functions of Sch9.
Bart Smets,Pepijn De Snijder,Kristof Engelen,Eva Joossens,Ruben Ghillebert,Karin Thevissen,Kathleen Marchal,Joris Winderickx +7 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that Sch9 is necessary for proper integration of the rapamycin-induced stress signal, and favour a model in which the role of Sch9 in the general stress response switches depending on TORC1 activity and Sch9 andTORC1 have independent and additive effects on genes induced upon nitrogen and amino acid starvation.

TL;DR: In this article, a collection of gene-specific sequence tags (GSTs) representing at least 21,500 Arabidopsis genes were selected to ensure that each of them shared no significant similarity with any other region in the genome.

Microarray data normalization and transformation
TL;DR: This review focuses on the much more mundane but indispensable tasks of 'normalizing' data from individual hybridizations to make meaningful comparisons of expression levels, and of 'transforming' them to select genes for further analysis and data mining.
Analysis of Variance for Gene Expression Microarray Data
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ANOVA methods can be used to normalize microarray data and provide estimates of changes in gene expression that are corrected for potential confounding effects and establishes a framework for the general analysis and interpretation of micro array data.

TL;DR: It is found that 60-mer oligonucleotides reliably detect transcript ratios at one copy per cell in complex biological samples, and that ink-jet arrays are compatible with several different sample amplification and labeling techniques.
