DNA Microarray - Microarrays and Bioinformatics

Microarrays and Bioinformatics

The advent of inexpensive microarray experiments created several specific bioinformatics challenges:

• the multiple levels of replication in experimental design (Experimental design)
• the number of platforms and independent groups and data format (Standardization)
• the treatment of the data (Statistical analysis)
• accuracy and precision (Relation between probe and gene)
• the sheer volume of data and the ability to share it (Data warehousing)
