The other 53 microarrays were left for the analysis.
However, this is left for future work since so far we have only applied MINER to microarray data.
Other details of the microarray experiment that are left out of our model are bleed-through between features and regional artifacts such as air bubbles, scratches, and miscellaneous particles.
In order to uncover the so far unknown "group labels" of the 6 remaining microarrays (Arrays 1 and 5 were left out), a correspondence analysis (CA) was performed with all genes of the Affymetrix microarray.
The microarrays corresponding to the untreated group were left out of the analysis.
All microarrays were visually inspected and all spots with poor morphology were flagged to be left out from further analysis.
Further, the control probes were left out of the meta-analysis, as this was also done for the data stemming from the other microarray platforms.
Young leaves were left untreated.
(3) Only a few genes that are highly expressed in leaves were identified because the microarray was composed from a flower cDNA library.
To identify FLcDNAs that were DE following FTC feeding, FLcDNAs mapping to the microarray were matched to an existing microarray dataset that examined gene expression in hybrid poplar leaves 24 hours after continuous FTC feeding ([ 11]; GEO series number GSE9522).
