  1. Microarray Data Analysis Data quality assessmentand normalization for affymetrix chips

  2. Outline • Visualization and diagnostic plots • Normalization • Filtering

  3. Microarray studies life cycle Here we are

  4. Looking at microarray dataDiagnostic Plots Was the experiment a success?

  5. Diagnostic plots for cDNA chips • Plots can be used to check microarray quality • Some plots useful for both cDNA or Affy. • Scatterplot / MA plot • Histograms • Spatial plots • Box plots • Other are more technology specific • Degradation plots

  6. Image plots for affymetrix chips

  7. MA-plot for GeneChip arrays (1 color) MT intensity for each probe set aRNA RMA M Log2(MT)-Log2(WT) MT WT intensity for each probe set aRNA RMA WT A Log2(MT*WT) / 2 (signal strength)

  8. Box plots

  9. Density plots

  10. Digestion plots

  11. Preprocessing affy chips

  12. Preprocessing steps • Computing expression values for each probe set requires 3-steps • Background correction • Normalization • Probe set summaries

  13. Most popular approaches • Affymetrix’s own MAS 5 or GCOS 1.0 algorithms • RMA (Robust Multichip Analysis) • Irizarry, Bolstad, Collin, Cope, Hobbs, Speed (2003), Summaries of Affymetrix GeneChip probe level data. NAR 31(4):e15 • dChip http://www.dchip.org: Li and Wong (2001). Model-based analysis of oligonucleotide arrays: expression index computation and outlier detection. PNAS 98, 31-

  14. MAS • Background correction • Ej = PMj - MMj* where MMj* is chosen so that Ej is non-negative • Normalization • Scale so that mean Ej is same for each chip • Probe Set Summary • log(Signal Intensity) = TukeyBiweight(log Ej)

  15. RMA- Background correction • Ignore MM, fit model to PM • PM = Background (N(0,s2) + Signal (Exp(a))

  16. RMA-Normalization • Force the empirical distribution of probe intensities to be the same for every chip in an experiment • The common distribution is obtained by averaging each quantile across chips: Quantile Normalization

  17. One distribution for all arrays: the black curve

  18. RMA: Probe set summary • Robustly fit a two-way model yielding an estimate of log2(signal) for each probe set • Fit may be by • median polish (quick) or by • Mestimation (slower but yields standard errors and good quality • RMA reduces variability without loosing the ability to detect differential expression

  19. MA plots before and after RMA

  20. Summary • Microarray experiments have many “hot spots” where errors or systematic biases can apper • Visual and numerical quality control should be performed • Usually intensities will require normalisation • At least global or intensity dependent normalisation should be performed • More sophisticated procedures rely on stronger assumptions Must look for a balance
