Microarray bioinformatics expertise

Overview

Collectively we have over ten years experience in spotted and Affymetrix microarray design and analysis. We are all trained statisticians with a broad range of classical statistical and bioinformatics skills. This expertise includes skills using the R/Bioconductor framework for data organization, exploration, normalization, and analysis using cutting edge algorithm methods.

We are able to offer:

  • Good understanding of the underlying science behind microarray technology.
  • Development of new methodology for the analysis of microarray data in Bioconductor.
  • Experience with different data visualization quality control and exploration methods for summarizing experimental information.
  • Use of robust analysis methods which have higher statistical power by incorporating between gene information.
  • Conceptual organization of phenotype and genotype information from a statistical design perspective.
  • Experience with data and algorithm memory limitations in the R programming environment depending on computing architecture used.
  • Ability to provide functional analysis using putative pathway information.
  • Experience with QTL mapping analysis.
  • Use a collaborative framework which allows fast prototyping of microarray information for future database incorporation.
  • Can provide output tailored to the needs of the client.
