ABSTRACT:
To allow for the estimation and removal of gene specific dye effects, all samples were reversed labeled during the total RNA reverse transcription step. A pair of self-hybridizations (dye-reversed) preceded each batch of six microarrays.
Any deviation from a ratio of 1 (centered to 0 for log ratio data) in self-hybridizations was therefore assigned to either dye effect or residual error.
Dye-reversed hybridizations were considered as technical replicates that allowed gene-specific dye effects to be averaged out during clustering while enabled us to
exclude dye-dependent variances during the ANOVA analysis. In order to assure a balanced design, the same number of technical dye-reversed replicates was used for all samples and experimental conditions.
To account for inherent experimental variation, all samples were each represented by a pool of five
(occasionally six) MDF culture dishes that were subjected under identical experimental conditions.
