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.

Interpretation of multiple probe sets mapping to the same gene in Affymetrix GeneChips

TL;DR: The results indicate that some probe sets should not be considered as unique measures of transcription, because the individual probes map to more than one transcript dependent upon the biological condition, and highlight the need for care when assessing whether groups of probe sets all measure the same transcript.

Statistical Issues in Microarray Data Analysis

TL;DR: Any microarray experiment consists of several components: carrying out an appropriately designed (replicated) plant experiment; array processing, which includes several steps of data acquisition and normalization; and analysis of expression data to identify differentially expressed genes and overall patterns of expression.

Multiple mutations in heterogeneous miltefosine-resistant Leishmania major population as determined by whole genome sequencing.

TL;DR: The study demonstrated the polyclonal nature of a resistant population with individual cells with varying susceptibilities and genotypes and highlighted that resistance can be highly heterogeneous at the population level with individual clones derived from this population differing both in terms of genotypes but also susceptibility phenotypes.

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.
