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.

Developmental and transcriptional responses to host and nonhost cuticles by the specific locust pathogen Metarhizium anisopliae var. acridum.

TL;DR: Several signal transduction genes previously implicated in pathogenicity in plant pathogens were only upregulated in response to locust extract, implying similarities in the regulatory circuitry of these pathogens with very different hosts.

A comparative study of the SVM and K-nn machine learning algorithms for the diagnosis of respiratory pathologies using pulmonary acoustic signals.

TL;DR: The K-nn classifier was better than the SVM classifier for the discrimination of pulmonary acoustic signals from pathological and normal subjects obtained from the RALE database.

Microarrays: the use of oligonucleotides and cDNA for the analysis of gene expression.

TL;DR: A third choice, long (50-80 base) oligonucleotide arrays, is now available and might eventually eliminate the use of cDNA arrays, and could possibly become the major competing platform in the near future.

Normalization of Illumina Infinium whole-genome SNP data improves copy number estimates and allelic intensity ratios

TL;DR: The proposed normalization strategy represents a valuable tool that improves the quality of data obtained from Illumina Infinium arrays, in particular when used for LOH and copy number variation studies.

Prognostic Gene Expression Signatures Can Be Measured in Tissues Collected in RNAlater Preservative

TL;DR: This novel finding demonstrates that prognostic signatures can be obtained from RNAlater preservative-suspended tissues, an important step in bringing gene expression signatures to the clinic.

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.
