X Abstract

DNA microarray represents a powerful tool in biomedical discoveries. Harnessing the potential of this technology depends on the development and appropriate use of data mining and statistical tools. Significant current advances have made microarray data mining more versatile. Researchers are no longer limited to default choices that generate suboptimal results. Conflicting results in repeated experiments can be resolved through attention to the statistical details. In the current dynamic environment, there are many choices and potential pitfalls for researchers who intend to incorporate microarrays as a research tool. This review is intended to provide a simple framework to understand the choices and identify the pitfalls. Specifically, this review article discusses the choice of microarray platform, preprocessing raw data, differential expression and validation, clustering, annotation and functional characterization of genes, and pathway construction in light of emergent concepts and tools. 10.1152/physiolgenomics.00314.2004

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
