Microarray data: overview- cDNA samples are mixed together and hybridize to complementary DNA on the microarray
- a laser scanner measures the fluorescence of each spot. Superimposed
- fluorescence intensity is related to amount of cDNA in sample = mRNA = gene

- Data = thousands of different coloured dots- Colour intensity = number
EXAMPLE: a) Four genesb) Arbitrary light unitsc) Ratio of red to green (red/green)
Microarray data: analysis
• Thousands of genes + 10s, 100s of samples = DATA• Need to use specialized software
• Two options: same destination, different style
* Free software (R/Bioconductor) * Commercial software
