Introduction to DNA microarrays DTU - January Hanne Jarmer
Microarrays - The Concept Measure the level of transcript from a very large number of genes in one go CELL RNA
Why? RNA
How? gene specific DNA probes labeled target gene mRNA
Microarrays - The Technologies Stanford-type Microarrays High-density
Stanford-type Microarrays
Coating glass slides Deposition of probes Post-processing Hybridization
Spotting - Mechanical deposition of probes
16-pin microarrayer
Microarrayer
mRNA cDNA Cy3-cDNACy5-cDNA SAMPLE CONTROL Stanford microarrays
Affymetrix GeneChip ® oligonucleotide array 11 to 20 oligonucleotide probes for each gene On-chip synthesis of 25 mers ~20,000 genes per chip good quality data K features to play with

NimbleGen 385,000 to 2.1 mill features Long probes (up to 70 nt) Service: -labelling -scanning -image analysis
Photolithography - Micromirrors
Analysis of Data Normalization: Linear or non-linear
Is it worth it? Number of known positives Number of significantly affected genes Qspline normalization Linear normalization Known positives versus the total number of significantly affected genes at 5 different cutoffs in the TnrA experiment
Analysis of Data Normalization: Linear or non-linear Statistical test: student’s t-test ANalysis Of VAriance (ANOVA) Analysis: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) Clustering and visualization
Tiling arrays Tiling arrays are used for determation of genes, ncRNAs, TF-binding sites,...
