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.

Review of the literature examining the correlation among DNA microarray technologies

TL;DR: With improvements in the technology, analysis across platforms yields highly correlated and reproducible results, and several key factors should be controlled in comparing across technologies, and are good microarray practice in general.

A novel normalization method for effective removal of systematic variation in microarray data

TL;DR: A novel normalization method that uses a matching algorithm for the distribution peaks of the expression log ratio and the robustness and effectiveness of this method was evaluated using both experimental and simulated data.

Analysis of the Cerebrospinal Fluid Proteome in Alzheimer's Disease.

TL;DR: After depletion of high abundant proteins, Alzheimer’s disease patients had lower fraction of low-abundance proteins in cerebrospinal fluid compared to healthy controls and global normalization was found to be less accurate compared to using spiked-in chicken ovalbumin for normalization.

quantro: a data-driven approach to guide the choice of an appropriate normalization method

TL;DR: The utility of the proposed data-driven global normalization method (quantro) is demonstrated through examples and simulations and it is shown that it has the potential to remove biologically driven variation.

Quantitative proteomic analysis of drug-induced changes in mycobacteria.

TL;DR: A new approach for qualitative and quantitative proteomic analysis using capillary liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry to study the protein expression response in mycobacteria following isoniazid treatment suggests a complex interplay of metabolic events leading to cell death.

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.
