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.

A Statistical Selection Strategy for Normalization Procedures in LC-MS Proteomics Experiments through Dataset Dependent Ranking of Normalization Scaling Factors

TL;DR: A novel approach is presented to evaluate normalization strategies, which includes the peptide selection component associated with the derivation of normalization values, which improves the structure of the data without introducing bias into the normalized peak intensities.

Dye bias correction in dual-labeled cDNA microarray gene expression measurements.

TL;DR: It is found that within a given set of concurrently processed hybridizations, the bias is remarkably consistent and therefore measurable and correctable and can eliminate the need for technical dye swap replicates and reduce microarray and reagent costs while maintaining experimental accuracy and technical precision.

Profound influence of microarray scanner characteristics on gene expression ratios: analysis and procedure for correction

TL;DR: It is suggested that the PMT voltage should be increased to avoid intensities of the weakest spots below the usable range, allowing the brightest spots to reach the level of saturation.

Proteomic Analysis of Stationary Phase in the Marine Bacterium “Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique”

TL;DR: “Ca. Pelagibacter ubique” appears to respond adaptively to stationary phase by increasing the abundance of a suite of proteins that contribute to homeostasis rather than undergoing a major remodeling of its proteome, suggesting a limited response to ambient conditions that deprive it of nutrients for short periods.

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.
