Dear group,
We have a customer who has two datasets obtained using two Affymetrix
miRNA arrays: miRNA-1_0 and miRNA-1_0_2xgain. The data are supposed
to be analyzed together but the problem is that the expression
profiles
from both arrays look very different. Here's what I did so far:
- Normalized both datasets separately using APT.
I used APT because to my knowledge there is no CDF package for the
2xgain array in Bioconductor.
- Then I applied an additional quantile normalization step using
limma.
The problem is that even with that, the datasets have very different
profile patterns (when I do a PCA plot, 96% of the variance is
explained
by the difference in array types).
I was hoping that maybe someone here has encountered this type of a
problem before, and would be willing to share his/her thoughts.
Best regards,
