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.

MiR-365 induces gemcitabine resistance in pancreatic cancer cells by targeting the adaptor protein SHC1 and pro-apoptotic regulator BAX

TL;DR: It is found that miR-365 induced gemcitabine resistance in pancreatic cancer cells and up-regulated cancer-promoting molecules such as Inhibitor of DNA binding 2 and S100P, suggesting the existence of cross-talk with other cancer- Promoting signals.

MicroPreP: a cDNA microarray data pre-processing framework.

TL;DR: The user-friendly MicroPreP framework was developed to transform raw intensity data from cDNA microarrays into high-quality data and the main features are LOWESS normalisation; merging of DNA microarray data from changing slide versions; outlier detection; and slide quality assessment.

Integrated approaches reveal determinants of genome-wide binding and function of the transcription factor Pho4

TL;DR: It is found that nucleosomes significantly restrict Pho4 binding, and an integrated approach to study how trans influences shape the binding and regulatory landscape of Pho 4, a budding yeast transcription factor activated in response to phosphate limitation, is used.

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.
