Microarray Data Analysis

Our bioinformatics team has extensive experience working with microarray data from OneArray®, Affymetrix, Agilent, Illumina, and other platforms. Please take a look at the contents under each category for information on what kind of analyses we typically deliver. For custom projects, please submit a quote request and one of our microarray experts will follow up to discuss your project.

OneArray®

Our basic OneArray®data analysis package includes normalization, identification of differentially expressed genes, principal components analysis, hierarchical clustering, and Gene Ontology and Pathway enrichment analysis.

Agilent

Our basic Agilent data analysis package includes normalization, identification of differentially expressed genes, principal components analysis, and hierarchical clustering.

Affymetrix

Our basic Affymetrix data analysis package includes normalization, identification of differentially expressed genes, principal components analysis, and hierarchical clustering.

Illumina

Our basic Illumina data analysis package includes normalization, identification of differentially expressed genes, principal components analysis, and hierarchical clustering.

Advanced Analysis

  • Gene Ontology and Pathway enrichment analyses: using a set of differentially expressed genes, an enrichment analysis will find which GO terms and pathways are over-represented (or under-represented) using annotations for that gene set.
  • CMAP: a useful tool in the drug discovery process, OneArray® microarray results can be input into our CMAP pipeline in order to identify/predict the effects of different drugs on different compounds without having to run the wet lab experiments. Protein target prediction and advanced pathway analysis can be performed as subsequent analyses in order to give an even more complete picture of the experiment.
