Classification of Grid Alignment Methods There are two views on microarray grid alignment: • Automation of methods: — Manual (a grid template of spots is manually adjusted) — Semi-automated (manual grid initialization followed by automated refinement) — Fully automated (data driven without any human intervention based on one-time human setup) • Image analysis approach: — Template-based — Data-driven — Affymetrix chips (special case) 30

31 Microarray Grid Alignment: Previous Work Approaches: • The Affymetrix chips approach – — Pros: the alignment problem was simplified and hence the grid alignment became more accurate. — Cons: the Affymetrix technology has been much more expensive than the technology with coated glass slides. • Template-based approach: the most prevalent in existing software packages, e.g., GenePix Pro by Axon Instruments, ScanAlyze or GridOnArray by Scanalytics. — Pros: Incorporates knowledge about ideal grid — Cons: manual alignment • Data-driven approach: — image segmentation — statistical analysis of 1D image projections. — Pros: automatic alignment — Cons: accuracy and robustness, e.g., missing spots, noise
