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 robust neural networks approach for spatial and intensity-dependent normalization of cDNA microarray data

TL;DR: A comparison of the robust neural network method with other published methods demonstrates its potential in reducing both intensity- dependent bias and spatial-dependent bias, which translates to more reliable identification of truly regulated genes.

Comparative transcriptome analysis of two olive cultivars in response to NaCl-stress.

TL;DR: A comparative transcriptomics approach was used as a tool to unravel gene regulatory networks underlying salinity response in olive trees by simulating as much as possible olive growing conditions in the field, and differentially expressed transcripts as well as regulatory interactions were identified.

Host Transcript Accumulation during Lytic KSHV Infection Reveals Several Classes of Host Responses

TL;DR: The results affirm that the levels of over 75% of host transcripts are substantially reduced during lytic infection, but also show that another ∼20% of cellular mRNAs declines only slightly (less than 2-fold) during the course of infection.

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.
