  1. Filtering and Normalizationof Microarray Gene Expression Data Waclaw Kusnierczyk Norwegian University of Science and TechnologyTrondheim, Norway

  2. Outline • Filtering: spots • removal of spots based on quality measures • Normalization • compensation for measurement errors • Examples of common problems

  3. Channel - channel plot (CC) Intensity - ratio plot (AM or IR) Useful plots

  4. Filtering: Spots • Criteria used to remove spots • spot area [pixels] • signal/noise ratio (spot intensity vs. background intensity) • other quality measures (e.g. based on quality scores from image analysis software) • morphological criteria • pixel-level variability

  5. Filtering: Spots • Spot area

  6. Filtering: Spots • Spot area based filtering • keep spots with area >threshold in both channels • problem: setting the appropriate threshold • dependent on the definition of the spot (image analysis software), and the distribution of the spot area • typical value: 10 pixels

  7. Filtering: Spots • Signal and background

  8. Filtering: Spots • Signal/noise based filtering • keep spots with signal / background > threshold in both channels • problem: setting the appropriate threshold • dependent on the spot and background definition (image analysis software) • typical value: sgn/bkg > 2 (or, equivalent, sgn - bkg > bkg)

  9. Filtering: Spots • Signal/noise based filtering (alternative) • flag spots if Sij< Bij+θσBij, where:Sij: ith spot intensity in jth channel (not corrected)Bij: ith spot background in jth channelσBij: ith spot background deviation in jth channelθ: user defined threshold

  10. Filtering: Spots (example)

  11. Filtering: Spots • Other criteria • Intensity threshold on background corrected intensity (for each channel separately) • Spot quality measures (pixelwise distributional properties of spot and background intensities, manual morphology-based spot flagging etc.) • Replicate-based spot filtering (adaptive threshold selection based on a repeatability coefficient, coefficient of variation etc.)

  12. Filtering: Spots • Total intensity (log2) threshold

  13. Filtering: Spots • Morphology based filtering

  14. Normalization • Analysis of systematic errors • adjustment for bias coming from variation in the technology rather than from biology • Different sources of non-linearity • Print-tip differences • Efficiency of dye incorporation (labelling) • Non-uniformity in hybridisation • Scanning • Between slide variation (print quality, ambient conditions)

  15. Normalization • Selection of elements • Housekeeping genes, spike controls, tip-dependence, raw data, between array normalization • Method • Constant subtraction (shift)(mean/median log2 ratio, iterative c estimation, ANOVA) • Locally weighted mean(intensity or location dependent) • Other recently proposed methods

  16. Normalization (example 1) • Intensity independent normalization with median ratio subtraction

  17. Normalization (example 1) • Intensity independent normalization with median ratio subtraction

  18. Normalization (example 1) • Intensity dependent normalization with locally weighted mean, global

  19. Normalization (example 1) • Intensity dependent normalization with locally weighted mean, print-tip dependent

  20. Normalization (example 1) • Intensity dependent normalization with locally weighted mean, global vs. print-tip dependent

  21. Normalization (example 2) • Intensity dependent normalization with locally weighted mean, print-tip dependent

  22. Normalization • Location dependent normalization with locally weighted mean (from SNOMAD web page)
