Functions for normalisation of two-color microarrays by optimised local regression and for detection of artefacts in microarray data

Software and data to support the case studies.

Many two-colour hybridizations suffer from a dye bias that is both gene-specific and slide-specific. The former depends on the content of the nucleotide used for labeling; the latter depends on the labeling percentage. The slide-dependency was hitherto not recognized, and made addressing the artefact impossible. Given a reasonable number of dye-swapped pairs of hybridizations, or of same vs. same hybridizations, both the gene- and slide-biases can be estimated and corrected using the GASSCO method ...

This package uses functions of various other packages together with other functions in a coordinated way to handle and analyse cDNA microarray data

A fast scatterplot smoother based on B-splines with second-order difference penalty. Functions for microarray normalization of single-colour data i.e. Affymetrix/Illumina and two-colour data supplied as marray MarrayRaw-objects or limma RGList-objects are available.
