Microarrays • Wednesday, March 1, 2006 • Dr. Tim Hughes • CCBR – 160 College St. – Room 1302 • t.hughes@utoronto.ca • Outline: • Microarray experiments • Normalization • Different types of microarrays • Other applications besides expression profiling • Clustering and interpretation
Suggested reading Eisen et al., 1998 HARTIGAN, J.A., Clustering Algorithms, Wiley, New York and London (1975). My understanding is that it is no longer in print, but is available on CD. Jain et al., ACM Computing Surveys, 31(3) 1999 “Data Clustering: a review”.

Microarray expression profiling by 2-color assay (“cDNA arrays”) Array: PCR products 6250 yeast ORFs hybridized cDNAs: green = control red = experiment *Schena et al., 1995
“cDNA microarrays” are essentially dot-blots on glass slides 0.45 mm • This slide was made with 16 pins • 4.5 mm pin spacing matches 384-well plates (16 x 24) • Done with robotics • Slides usually coated with poly-lysine • Spots are usually 100-150 microns • Spot spacing is usually 200-300 microns. • Slides are 25 x 75 mm • Easy to deposit 20K spots/slide http://arrayit.com/Products/Printing/Stealth/stealth.html
Common ways to “label” nucleic acids Random priming of double-stranded DNA: Poly-T primed cDNA synthesis: Direct labelling (fluors only): Amplification: * * Reaction contains labelled nucleotides * AAAAAAAA * AAAAAAAA TTTTTTTTTT-T7 promoter AAAAAAAA “second strand” synthesis AAAAAAAA-T7 promoter TTTTTTTTTT-T7 promoter Reaction contains labelled nucleotides AAAAAAAA T7 reaction contains labelled nucleotides * * * * TTTTTTTTTT * * *
Typical use of cDNA microarrays: “Internal” normalization using two colors x x x y x x y y y z z z x y z treatment (drug, mutation) control cDNA pools up down unchanged not present
532 nm laser (green) excites Cy3 Cy3 detected with an emission filter that passes 557-592 nm 635 nm (red) excites Cy5 Cy5 detected with an emission filter that passes 650-690 nm. Both are detected by a photomultiplier tube. Excitation Emission Cy3 NHS Ester Cy5 NHS Ester http://www.jacksonimmuno.com/2001site/home/catalog/f-cy3-5.htm http://www.ope-tech.com/doc/Cy5_structure.htm
The primary data: two grayscale TIFF files Cy3 channel (“green”) Cy5 channel (“red”) http://www.axon.com/GN_GenePix4000.html
Image processing and normalization: what is microarray data? Microarray data is summary information from image files that come out of the scanner. Image processing: line up grids, flag bad spots, quantitate.
Looking at data from a single experiment 3-AT vs. No drug 2 1 0 -1 -2 log10(ratio) -2 -1 0 1 2 wild-type vs. wild-type 2 1 0 -1 -2 log10(ratio) -2 -1 0 1 2 log10(average intensity)
Lowess smoothing: The names "lowess" and "loess" are derived from the term "locally weighted scatter plot smooth," as both methods use locally weighted linear regression to smooth data. http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/toolbox/curvefit/ch_data7.html
Find spots Manual edit Quantitate Normalize (“Lowess smoothing”) (Locally weighted scatterplot smoothing) Confirm spots outside envelope Save data, images, spot map
Selected tricks for processing and normalization • High-pass spatial detrending. See: O. Shai, Q. Morris, and B.J. Frey, (2003) Spatial Bias Removal in Microarray Images, University of Toronto Technical Report PSI-2003-21, http://www.psi.utoronto.ca/~ofer/detrendingReport.pdf • (2) VSN – “Variance Stabilizing Normalization”. See: • Huber, W., Von Heydebreck, A., Sultmann, H., Poustka, A., & Vingron, M. • Variance stabilization applied to microarray data calibration and to the quantification of differential expression. • Bioinformatics 18, Suppl 1, S96-S104 (2002).

Photolithographic arrays (Affymetrix) Building up oligonucleotides on a surface: http://www.affymetrix.com/technology/manufacturing/index.affx
Photolithographic arrays (Affymetrix) Arrays are typically 25-mers, with “mismatch” control for specificity aka “GeneChip”
Photolithographic arrays (Affymetrix) Advantages: Density is limited essentially by the 5 micron resolution of scanners (solution: larger arrays). Well-developed protocols. “Industry standard” (largely self-driven). Disadvantages: Not all probes work well. Affymetrix has evolved a complicated system to compensate for this, but even “believers” use at least four probes per gene, and usually more. Single color. Sample preparation typically requires amplification. Single supplier; historically intellectual property issues. (i.e. comparisons)
Ink-jet arrays (Agilent) G A G T C A C G G G C T G A A • 25,000 oligos / 1 x 3 inches • Sequence completely flexible • 60-mers Hughes TR et al. Expression profiling using microarrays fabricated by an ink-jet oligonucleotide synthesizer. Nat Biotechnol. 2001 Apr;19(4):342-7.
Ink-jet arrays generally agree with spotted cDNA arrays r = 0.97 Yeast IJS array: ~8 oligos per gene Spo vs. SC r = 0.96 multiple oligos single oligo HXT4 HXT3 HXT1 cDNA array cDNA array
Ink-jet arrays (Agilent) Advantages: User-specified sequences; “no questions asked” Sensitivity and specificity are defined and exceed requirement for most expression profiling applications; no amplification required Virtually every 60-mer is functional Data correlates well with spotted cDNA arrays Disadvantages: Density currently limited to ~45,000 spots per array. Single supplier (although a protocol is in press for making your own synthesizer!)
“Maskless” arrays (Nimblegen) http://www.nimblegen.com/technology/manufacture.html
“Maskless” arrays (Nimblegen) Advantages: User-specified sequences. Density is limited essentially by the 5 micron resolution of scanners. Disadvantages: New to arena. Performance in initial publication (Nuwaysir et al., Genome Research, 2002) suggests that sensitivity and specificity may be lower than that of Agilent arrays. Single supplier – although all the parts are there for academics to build one. Possible IP issues. Hybs are done in Iceland to bypass Affy IP. Nimblegen web site boasts of new partnership with Affymetrix.

There are many types of clustering. One example: K-means (must choose K) See: Sherlock G. Analysis of large-scale gene expression data. Curr Opin Immunol. 2000 Apr;12(2):201-5. K = 10 #1 #2 #3

Big questions: To what degree are functional pathways coordinately regulated? What controls the observed regulations?
