A Model-Based Background Adjustment for Oligonucleotide Expression Arrays

TL;DR: The default ad hoc adjustment, provided as part of the Affymetrix system, can be improved through the use of estimators derived from a statistical model that uses probe sequence information, which greatly improves the performance of the technology in various practical applications.
