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.

Gene expression profiling of the androgen receptor antagonists flutamide and vinclozolin in zebrafish (Danio rerio) gonads

TL;DR: It is found that VZ and FLU potentially impact reproductive processes via multiple pathways related to steroidogenesis, spermatogenesis, and fertilization, as demonstrated by overlap in differentially-expressed genes and enrichment of several common key pathways.

Microarray analysis in pulmonary hypertension.

TL;DR: To date, numerous human microarray studies have been conducted to analyse global (lung homogenate samples), compartment-specific (laser capture microdissection), cell type-specific and circulating cell (peripheral blood) expression profiles, and Combined, they provide important information on development, progression and the end-stage disease.

Image analysis tools and emerging algorithms for expression proteomics

TL;DR: The image analysis pipeline for the established 2‐DE technique of protein separation is described, and by first covering signal analysis for MS, the current image analysis workflow for the emerging high‐throughput ‘shotgun’ proteomics platform of LC coupled to MS (LC/MS).

Intensity‐based analysis of two‐colour microarrays enables efficient and flexible hybridization designs

TL;DR: It is found that the signal intensity of the cRNA targets was not influenced by the presence of a target labelled in the opposite colour, which indicates that targets do not compete for binding sites on the array, which is essential for intensity-based analysis.

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.
