Minimum information about a microarray experiment (MIAME) criteria were met [ 56], and the complete microarray datasets described can be found at the National Center for Biotechnology Information Gene Expression Omnibus (accession number: GSE16098).
Just over half of the studies fulfilled the MIAMI criteria (Minimum Information About Microarray Experiment, published guidelines on the design, conducting, analysis and reporting of the microarray experiments) [ 7].
Every genome-scale experiment like a microarray experiment leaves the experimenter with a list of genes fulfilling particular experimental criteria.
We followed the criteria that are described in MIAME [ 73] for the microarray experiment and data analysis.
By these criteria 74% (26 out of 35) of genes had the same pattern of expression in the microarray experiment as in the qRT-PCR experiment.
Each microarray experiment was performed in duplicate.
ACCW designed the microarray experiment.
Performed the microarray experiment: JH.
ST and SK performed the DNA microarray experiment.
PF carried out the microarray experiment.
