Microarray Image Parameters MA Scanner generates two 16 bit gray scale TIFF images: one image for each labeling probe (Cy3 and Cy5) 16 bit schema provides signal dynamic range from 0 to 216=65536 Each image size varies from 20 to 30 MB for scanning resolution 10 mm/pixel
Typical layout of microarray image Image size 22 MB Image size 28 MB (images scanned at 10mm/pix resolution)
Apply the Grid Determine Spot Boundary Calculate Spot Intensity Determine Background and Correct Intensity Processing Overview
Applying an Overlay Grid • What does it accomplish? • The grid cells set a boundary for the spot finding algorithms. • The grid cells also define an area for background correction.
Gridding Dimension Parameters pin X pin X pin Y pin Y
Spot Spacing Parameter spotspacing
Spot Finding Spot finding requires an estimated spot size. The spot can be drawn as an irregular contour, as an ellipse, or as unconnected pixels. Area inside contour is used for spot intensity calculation Area outside contour is used for local background calculation
Processing Overview Apply the Grid Determine Spot Boundary Calculate Spot Intensity Determine Background and Correct Intensity
Background Calculation Background intensity is calculated as the median pixel intensity from the area within the square and outside the spot. A separate local background is calculated for each spot using the non-spot pixels from it’s square. local background area
Spot Definition and Calculations Spot Area, A = number of pixels within the defined spot boundary BKG = median pixel value within the cell (excluding the spot pixels) Integral = Sum of all spot pixels excluding saturated pixels Reported “Intensity”=Integral-BKG*A
Quality Control Issues • Two measures of spot quality are reported by SpotFinder: • Saturation Factor • QC Score: reports shape and signal to noise ratio
Saturation Examples Partially saturated spots can look like this: saturated area non-saturated area Completely saturated spots can look like this: fully saturated spot
216=65536 Saturation, Pixel Value Limit Output: pixel value Input: fluorescence dye light signal
(# good pixels in spot) Saturation Factor = (total number of spot pixels) Saturation Factor -Partially saturated spots can be handled in SpotFinder by excluding the saturated pixels from spot area and intensity calculations. -Fully saturated spots can not be recovered in SpotFinder. In this case rescanning with lower excitation power or PMT gain could be considered. *Faint spots may possibly be lost.
Saturation, RI Plot RI plot: log(IB/IA) vs 1/2log(IA*IB) clearly displays the saturation limits
shape signal/noise shape signal/noise Quality Control, QC Score A QC Score is generated for each spot and is based on the spot shape and a measure of signal to noise ratio. QC Score QCA QCB
Spot Shape Parameter Shape Factor = (Spot Area/Perimeter) Spots with large perimeters relative to spot area will have a low shape factor.
Signal to Noise Ratio 216 S/N factor = fraction of spot pixels exceeding: *med(BKG) + * SD(BKG) Pixel Values med(BKG) SD(BKG) 0
Quality Control Calculation QC Score = (QCA+QCB)/2 QCA=sqrt(QC shape*QC S/N) for channel A QCB=sqrt(QC shape*QC S/N) for channel B
Quality Control, RI Plot RI plot: log(IB/IA) vs1/2log(IA*IB) plotted for means shows clearly low intensity distortion due to background overestimation. Data from earlier slide processed without QC filter
