BarleyBase – Putting Large-Scale Plant Expression Profiling Data into a Functional Genomics Context LISHUANG SHEN lshen@iastate.edu VRAC Center, Iowa State University November 18, 2004 Presented to ISU Microarray Club
In this talk I will focus on the data and tools we have for biologists to analyze and interpret large scale gene profiling data. My talk will leave out most technical details of data formats, database schema and implementations.
Terms to Know Array/Chip/Hybridization: A collection of probes on glass encased in a plastic cartridge. Exemplar: The contig or singleton sequences used to design probe sets from. Usually representing a gene. Probe: A 25-mer oligonucleotide designed to be complementary to a reference sequence. The probe sequence that is complementary to the sequence to be hybridized. Probe Set: A collection of probe pairs which interrogates the same sequence, or set of sequences. A probe set typically contains between 11 to 20 probe pairs. Probe Pair: Two features within a probe set. Each probe of a probe pair is designed to differ only at the nucleotide base interrogation position. The probe pair is designed to detect a Perfect Match (PM) and a Mismatch (MM). Mismatch Probe (MM): A 25-mer oligonucleotide designed to be complementary to a reference sequence except for a single base (13th) change to complementary base to the original at the position. Mismatch probes serve as specificity controls when compared to their corresponding Perfect Match (PM) probes.

Six Parts of MIAME • Experimental design: the set of hybridization experiments as a whole. • Array design: each array used and each element (spot, feature) on the array. • Sample: samples used and extraction preparation and labeling. • Hybridizations: procedures and parameters. • Measurements: images, quantification, and specifications. • Normalization controls: types, values, and specifications.
BarleyBase Data Access Policy • Password - secured and flexible account and data access management • Data owners specify accessibility modes to protect their data before publication and yet enable dispersed collaboration. • Accessibility modes to experiment data • Publicaccess - allows any users to access data; • Private access - data can be viewed only by the data owner; • Group access - allows group members to access the data. • Users can create groups and add selected users to the groups to grant access to data from designated experiments. • Manuscript Reviewers can anonymously access data sets referenced by a to verify the conclusions using reviewer’s login ID. • All users are encouraged to make their data public as soon as possible.
BarleyBase Experiment Submission • Our online submission tool is BarleyExpress. It is based on MIAMExpress which is used by ArrayExpress for online submission. • BarleyExpress captured all the information from MIAME guidelines that is relevant to plants. • Experiment, Sample, Array, Protocol submissions • Uses controlled vocabulary/Ontology wherever possible • BarleyBase joins effort with Gramene and TAIR in utilizing plant ontology. • BarleyExpress additionally explicitly capture factorial experimental design. • BarleyExpress is fast and easy to use.

Part I. Experiment Searching, Quality Checking and Visualization of Hybridizations
Step 1. Search Experiment http://www.barleybase.org/query_experiment.php
Step 4. View Summary and Quality Checking for its Hybridizations http://www.barleybase.org/expsummary.php
Visualization at Experiment Level – Raw Intensities and Normalized Expression values • Boxplot of raw PM intensities: Showing change in raw PM intensity distribution for different hybridizations. Colored by treatment. • Boxplot of RMA expression values: Showing change in RMA expression value distribution for different hybridizations. Colored by treatment.
Step 4. Visualization at Experiment Level – Raw Perfect Match (PM) Intensities 1. Density plot of raw PM intensities: Showing the change in raw PM intensity distribution for different hybridizations. 2. RNA digestion plot with raw PM intensities: Showing the raw PM intensity change with regard to probe pairs location from 5' to 3'. Aids in identifying abnormality in labeling efficiency by position.
Step 5. Visualization at Hybridization Level – Chip Image of PM Intensities The pseudo image helps visualize probe signals across chip surface. Aids in finding abnormality during hybridization, washing etc..
Step 5. Visualization at Hybridization Level – Chip Image of PM Intensities A not so good slide has an artifact spot (arrow)
Step 5. Get Customized Scatterplots and MvA Plots The x- and y- axis can be from any treatments or hybridizations, even from different experiments
Step 5. Visualization at Hybridization Level – Scatterplots of Normalized Expression values Data is log2 scaled, thus a difference = 1 equals 2-fold change, the lines or colors represent 2-, 4- and 8-fold changes. Numbers of changed genes are shown as legends.
