TLDR
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.
Abstract
Underlying every microarray experiment is an experimental question that one would like to address. Finding a useful and satisfactory answer relies on careful experimental design and the use of a variety of data-mining tools to explore the relationships between genes or reveal patterns of expression. While other sections of this issue deal with these lofty issues, 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.

Normalization benefits microarray-based classification

TL;DR: The conclusion from the different experiment models considered in the study is that normalization can have a significant benefit for classification under difficult experimental conditions, with linear and Lowess regression slightly outperforming the offset method.

PreP+07: improvements of a user friendly tool to preprocess and analyse microarray data

TL;DR: Its reliability has been proven so that a laboratory researcher can afford a statistical pre-processing of his/her microarray results and obtain a list of differentially expressed genes using PreP+, without any programming skills.

Immune response to influenza vaccination in the elderly is altered by chronic medication use.

TL;DR: Novel pathways that might underlie how long-term medication use impacts immune response to influenza vaccination in the elderly are suggested and provide a strong rationale for targeting the medication-immunity interaction in the aged population to improve vaccination responses.

A zebrafish model of PINK1 deficiency reveals key pathway dysfunction including HIF signaling

TL;DR: The findings suggest that a lack of pink1 in zebrafish alters many vital and critical pathways in addition to the HIF signaling pathway.

Gene expression profiling using mixed models

TL;DR: In this paper, both classic and Bayesian approaches are discussed, with a focus on genetic parameter estimation and gene mapping, and an especially nice feature, and indeed worth the price of the book by themselves, are chapters discussing important, but underappreciated, approaches for AMMI modeling of genotype-environment interactions, the analysis of longitudinal traits, and empirical Bayes estimates.

Cluster analysis and display of genome-wide expression patterns

TL;DR: A system of cluster analysis for genome-wide expression data from DNA microarray hybridization is described that uses standard statistical algorithms to arrange genes according to similarity in pattern of gene expression, finding in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that clustering gene expression data groups together efficiently genes of known similar function.

Robust Locally Weighted Regression and Smoothing Scatterplots

TL;DR: Robust locally weighted regression as discussed by the authors is a method for smoothing a scatterplot, in which the fitted value at z k is the value of a polynomial fit to the data using weighted least squares, where the weight for (x i, y i ) is large if x i is close to x k and small if it is not.
