Lastly, the microarray chips utilized were limited to 12,488 probes so it is possible that some differentially regulated transcripts were not measured.
The microarray chips were scanned with GeneChip® scanner (Affymetrix).
Commercially available microarray chips for mouse genes (Agilent MouseGE 4 × 44 K, Agilent Technologies) were used.
In biology, high throughput gene expression data obtained from microarray chips forms a matrix [13].
Virus detection and genotyping were assessed using the FDA_EVIR microarray chips described in previous study (Chen et al. 2011).
DPCR is capable of absolute quantification of very low copy numbers of DNA based on the high-throughput microarray chips.
Fluorescence measurements were normalized over all 18 microarray chips.
Currently, several platforms of microRNA microarray chips are commercially available.
The replicate data were highly consistent when the same target was hybridized to two different sectors of the same microarray chip, to different microarray chips, or to the same microarray chip upon re-use (Fig. S2A).
For the quality control and standardization of microarray chips, the US FDA initiated the MicroArray Quality Control project (MAQC) in 2005.
