The two-color system analyzed in this study (Agilent microarrays), appears to have more severe ratio compression, which could be attributed to several factors: (1) The concentration of the 60mer probes on Agilent microarrays depends on the coupling efficiency of the in-situ oligonucleotide synthesis, and on probe length.
