Hi, Everybody,

 

Matching of identifiers is an important component when meta analysis are implemented in the  microarray data sets from different labs and different technologies.

 

As to matching of identifiers, at least two methods are suggested:

1. cluster ID and gene names were assigned to all of the cDNA clones and Affymetrix probes based on  UniGene;

 

2. using accession numbers provided by Affymetrix and other manufacturers and mapped them to the current version of the UniGene database;

 

Some use RefSeq identifiers. Would you have the experiences of meta analysis on microarray data sets? Any advice and suggestions will be much appreciatedon how to match identifiers and how to choose the suitable statistical methods in meta analysis .

 

What packages include complete procedures of meta analysis of microarray data sets?

 

Thanks again.


 



Best Regards
