  1. Establishing the infrastructurefor sharing microarray data Alvis Brazma European Bioinformatics Institute EMBL-EBI Microarray Gene Expression Data Society

  2. Outline • Establishing the infrastructure for sharing microarray data – MGED, MIAME, MAGE-ML, databases • Microarray Informatics at the EBI

  3. Microarrays - a tool for the golden age of genome discoveries

  4. Some questions for the golden age of genomics • How gene expression differs in different cell types? • How gene expression changes when the organism develops and cells are differentiating? • How gene expression differs in a normal and diseased (e.g., cancerous) cell? • How gene expression changes when a cell is treated by a drug? • How gene expression is regulated – which genes regulate which and how?

  5. Potential amounts of microarray data • Experiments: ~ 30 000 genes in a human genome ~ 320 cell types in a human organism • 2000 compounds for screening • 2 concentrations • 3 time points • 5 replicates • Data ~ 1012 data-points 1 Tera Byte

  6. Making microarray data available to the public • Authors web-sites • Local, lab based public databases (Stanford University, Whitehead,…) • Journal web-sites • There is a wide community consensus that there is a need for public repositories for microarray data, analogous to DDBJ/EMBL/Genbank for sequence data

  7. Quantitation matrices Gene expression data matrix Raw data Array scans Quantitations Samples Spots Genes Gene expression levels Which data to share?

  8. Sample annotations problem 1 Gene expression levels – problem 2 Gene annotations Annotations Samples Gene expression matrix Genes

  11. Problem 4 • The nature and structure of the above described gene expression data and annotations are complex • For the public repositories to make the maximum use out of these data, standards for representing and communicating it should be established

  12. Standards for microarray data • Understanding and agreement what data and annotations should be provided • Standard controlled vocabularies (ontologies) that can be used in such annotations • Standard format for exchange of annotated data • Understanding how to compare different datasets

  13. Microarray Gene Expression Database meeting was organised in Cambridge, UK, November 1999 to discuss these problems

  14. Affymetrix DDBJ DKFZ EMBL Gene Logic Incyte Max Plank Institute NCGR NHGRI Sanger Centre Stanford University Uni Pennsylvania Uni Washington, Seattle Whitehead Institute MGED 1 – some participants

  15. MGED working groups • Experiment annotation • Data exchange format and modelling • Ontologies • Data normalisation and transformations • Queries

  16. MGED meetings MGED 2, Heidelberg, May 2000 MGED 3, Stanford University, April 2001 MGED 4, Boston, February 2002 MGED 5, Tokyo, September 2002

  17. MGED Society was founded in June 2002 Microarray Gene Expression Data (MGED) society is an international organisation for facilitating sharing of functional genomics and proteomics array data Board of 17 directors www.mged.org

  18. MGED standards • Annotation content – MIAME • Data representation and exchange format MAGE-OM (MAGE-ML) – jointly with OMG

  19. MIAME – Minimum Information About a Microarray experiment An attempt to outline the minimum information required to interpret unambiguously and potentially reproduce and verify an array based gene expression experiment www.mged.org/miame

  20. MGED standards

  22. MIAME ‘checklist’ to authors and reviewers • Experimental design • Samples used, RNE extraction and labelling • Hybridisation • Measurement data and specifications • Array Design • (Row images) • Image quantitation (data and specification) • Gene expression data matrix (data and transformations)

  23. MIAME ‘checklist’ • An open letter was sent to the journals last week - all the information in MIAME ‘checklist’ should be made available as a requirement for accepting publications • The Lancet has indicated that it will adopt MIAME checklist as a requirement • Nature will adjust its policy in the line with MIAME recommendations

  24. A need for a supporting infrastructure • MIAME itself will not solve the problem • A standard format is needed for representing and exchanging this information

  25. MGED standards 2 • Data exchange format – MicroArray Gene Expression Mark-up language – MAGE-ML – an XML based file format able to capture all MIAME required information • Based on object model MAGE-OM (Paul Spellman, Michael Miller, Jason Stewart, Ugis Sarkans, …) • Adopted by OMG as a standard for microarrays www.mged.org/mage

  29. MGED standards 3 • MGED ontologies – organism part, cell type, diseased state, genotype, chemical compounds (Chris Stoeckert, Helen Parkinson, Susanna Sansone,…) • Symposium “Standards and Ontologies for Functional Genomics” – November 17-20, Cambridge, UK www.mged.org/ontology

  30. MGED standards 4 • Data transformation and normalisation (Cathy Ball, John Quackenbush, Gavin Sherlock, …) www.mged.org/normalization

  31. Infrastructure for sharing microarray data • Standard for experiment annotation • Standard for data exchange • Public repositories • Local databases and LIMS • Ways of comparing the data

  37. Gene Networks – graphs: nodes are genes, arcs are relationships

  38. - The product of gene G1 is a transcription factor, which binds to the promoter of gene G2 – physical interaction network G1 G2 - The disruption of gene G1 changes the expression level of gene G2 – data interpretation network G1 G2 - Gene G2 is mentioned in a paper about gene G1 – literature networks G1 G2 Different ways to build a gene network

  39. Data for over 200 gene disruptions in Yeast Hughes et al, Cell, 102 (2000)

  40. Discretization of the data: The normalized expression log(ratios) are discretized using different thresholds  = 2, 2.1  , … , 4 : X <    d(X) = 1   X   d(X) = 0 X >   d(X) = 1

  45. Comparison to literature network derived from YPD Result Overlap between calculated networks and YPD-graph is always larger than overlap between randomised networks and the YPD-graph

  46. Network modularity • Is there one “big” dominant connected component and possibly a number of small components, or several components of comparable sizes? • Can the network be broken down in several components of comparable size by removing nodes of high degree (i.e., nodes with many incoming or outgoing edges)?

  47. Number of connected components in the networks
