Normalization at the strip-level has also proven useful for data from Illumina's gene expression BeadChips (Wei Shi, personal communication).
Next, the allele A (X Raw) and allele B (Y Raw) signals are normalized between channels and samples simultaneously using strip-level quantile normalization.
Strip-level quantile normalization [ 54] was performed using a modified version of the procedure available in the lumi package (see Additional File 1, Figure S2).
By default, the strip-level quantiles are standardized against a reference distribution obtained from HapMap samples (International HapMap Consortium, 2007) run on the same platform to correct for lab and batch effects.
The between-channel aspect of the normalization [also recommended in Oosting et al., (2007) and Staaf et al., (2008)] aims to remove any dye-bias effects, while the strip-level component corrects for intensity gradients which can occur within BeadChips (Fig. 1A).
And the action is mostly confined to a narrow, two-level strip of stage that gives the show a kind of two-dimensional feeling, as if we were watching the whole thing unfold on a screen.
Even in the emptiness of the new bowl three hours before game time, the end zones were a lush Jets green and so were the message strips between levels.
Above the tunnel, platforming would create a linear development strip at street level.
The surrounding area consists of a level strip running south from Mandalay along the foothills of the Shan Plateau.
By a process of photon duplication, the light in Venice, recorded from dawn to dusk on a single day, travelled along the LED strip, at eye level, repeating every twelve minutes.
The university bought the 11-story building in 1950 and converted the theater into a gym in 1963 by leveling the orchestra floor and stripping the lower level of most of the ornamental plasterwork.
