Conclusion<br />

We have presented a comprehensive protocol f<strong>or</strong> preparing data f<strong>or</strong> gene expression Microarray<br />

analysis, using a suite <strong>of</strong> probe and measurement based filters, and have shown that by so doing<br />

m<strong>or</strong>e reliable probe-target measurements result, whose trends are consistent across independent<br />

experiments. While individual components <strong>of</strong> our protocol have been published elsewhere, to our<br />

knowledge the methods have not been integrated together and the overall effect assessed.<br />

Understanding contributions to a response allows researchers to have m<strong>or</strong>e confidence when<br />

making cross experiment data comparisons, which will facilitate our understanding <strong>of</strong> gene<br />

behavi<strong>or</strong> within a cell. We do expect that this type <strong>of</strong> analysis will only be improved with the<br />

addition <strong>of</strong> m<strong>or</strong>e sophisticated noise reduction methods applied to data prepared in this manner.<br />

Finally, probe based analysis is greatly simplified if carried out with a database system such as<br />

ProbeFATE, which uses the probe as the atomic unit and has been optimized f<strong>or</strong> manipulations<br />

and aggregations that build specific subsets based on user-coupled criteria.<br />
