Sample text
The array is commonly a small piece of glass or nylon (similar to a microscope slide), with thousands of spots or wells that can each hold a droplet representing a different cDNA sequence. , 2000). Every spot in the grid of the array can represent an independent experimental assay for the presence and abundance of a specific sequence of bases in the sample polynucleotide strand. The selection of material for the array depends on the cost, density, accuracy, and form of polynucleotide to be fixed to the slide (Sinclair, 1999).
Control polynucleotide target samples) is the indirect measurement of the relative gene transcript expression levels. Final image processing A digitized scanned array image is obtained from the microarray scannerhmager and is displayed on a monitor. False coloration of the fluorescent intensities, translated on the computer monitor as pixel intensities, is applied to the image to produce a color image for the analyst to read. If the biochemist tagged the polynucleotide from the unknown experimental sample with a red dye and the control polynucleotide sample with a green dye, and the false colorations mimic the fluorescent tagging, then visualization of a red spot on the final array grid indicates that the unknown polynucleotide hybridized abundantly to the cDNA affixed at that location on the microarray slide.
Many technologies use background subtraction methods that precede both global and local normalizations. In particular, one-channel radioactivity-based technologies may use a low number of background measurements to generate a single background intensity that can be subtracted from all array element signal intensities. In contrast, two-channel fluorescence-based technologies may subtract the local measurement of background intensity from each array element individually. In this chapter we focus mainly on describing standard cleaning processes and on summarizing common normalization methods for oligonucleotide arrays and cDNA arrays.
