A Comparison of Affymetrix Gene Expression Arrays

Friday October 26, 2007

09:45AM - 10:30AM

Speakers:
Mark Robinson

Abstract:

Affymetrix has created a new generation of expression chips, based on placing probes across the entire length of a transcript. This includes the Exon arrays and the newer Gene arrays. In this talk, I will discuss a performance comparison of gene-level expression summaries using publicly available data from a tissue
experiment and a designed mixture experiment. We make comparisons of
the 3 platforms in terms of the coverage of expressed content, reproducibility and detection rates.
