Hi Sean,
Thanks for this.
A bit off topic, but with two colour agilent array, I have been using just the LogRatio for downstream analysis. It makes me wonder if I should be normalising this as well.
Sorry, but I have never worked with Agilent, and FE doesn't say much.
Thanks for your help.
Best,
Yogi

Hi, Yogi.
gProcessedSignal is background-subtracted already, I believe, but it
is not normalized. Very rarely does the data from a one-color array
platform come normalized between arrays, a necessary step, I think.
Quantile normalization between arrays is a reasonable possibility,
yes. As with any array study, you'll want to do some quality
assessment both before and after normalization.
