Accuracy and calibration of commercial oligonucleotide and custom cDNA microarrays
Open accessAbstract
We compared the accuracy of microarray measurements obtained with oligonucleotide arrays (GeneChip, Affymetrix) with a laboratory-developed cDNA array by assaying test RNA samples from an experiment using a paradigm known to regulate many genes measured on both arrays. We selected 47 genes represented on both arrays, including both known regulated and unregulated transcripts, and established reference relative expression measurements for these genes in the test RNA samples using quantitative reverse transcriptase real-time PCR (QRTPCR) assays. The validity of the reproducible (average coefficient of variation = 11.8%) QRTPCR measurements were established through application of a new mathematical model. The performance of both array platforms in identifying regulated and non-regulated genes was identical. With either platform, 16 of 17 definitely regulated genes were correctly identified, and no definitely unregulated transcript was falsely identified as regulated. Accuracy of the fold-change measurements obtained with each platform was assessed by determining measurement bias. Both platforms consistently underestimate the relative changes in mRNA expression between experimental and control samples. The bias observed with cDNA arrays was predictable for fold-changes <250-fold by QRTPCR and could be corrected by the calibration function F(c) = F(a(cDNA))(q), where F(a(cDNA)) is the microarray-determined fold-change comparing experimental with control samples, q is the correction factor and F(c) is the calibrated value. The bias observed with the commercial oligonucleotide arrays was less predictable and calibration was unfeasible. Following calibration, fold-change measurements generated by custom cDNA arrays were more accurate than those obtained by commercial oligonucleotide arrays. Our study demonstrates systematic bias of microarray measurements and identifies a calibration function that improves the accuracy of cDNA array data.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
