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.

Proteomic analysis of bovine skeletal muscle hypertrophy

TL;DR: A role for exon 16 of fast troponin T in the physiological adaptation of the fast muscle phenotype is suggested, suggesting that myostatin negatively controls mainly fast‐twitch glycolytic fiber number in Semitendinosus muscle.

Reconstruction of microbial transcriptional regulatory networks.

TL;DR: Large-scale regulatory network reconstructions can be converted to in silico models that allow systematic analysis of network behavior in response to changes in environmental conditions and can be combined with genome-scale metabolic models to build integrated models of cellular function.

Inferring Gene Regulatory Networks using Differential Evolution with Local Search Heuristics

TL;DR: The proposed fitness function has been found to be more suitable for identifying the correct network topology and for estimating the accurate parameter values compared to the existing ones.

An HMM approach to genome-wide identification of differential histone modification sites from ChIP-seq data

TL;DR: The proposed approach, ChIPDiff, employs a hidden Markov model (HMM) to infer the states of histone modification changes at each genomic location and demonstrated that the H3K27me3 DHMSs identified by the approach are of high sensitivity, specificity and technical reproducibility.

Biological and genetic characteristics of tumor-initiating cells in colon cancer.

TL;DR: It was confirmed that CD133+ cells in colon cancer are useful markers for the detection of tumor-initiating cells and differential gene expression correlating with CD133 expression was found.

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.
