Dear Group,
I am integrating different microarray datasets from various
affymetrix, cDNA
(single and double channel) and illumuna arrays. I have couple of
questions
regarding this analysis.
1. Do I have to treat two channel arrays as two independent
experiments/treatments to make it to the same page as one color or
affymetrix
data?
2. What kind of normalizations (between and with arrays) I need to
keep
in mind? I was normalizing within and between arrays in an individual
experiment and finally scale the data to zero mean and unit standard
deviation.
Is this a reasonable approach? Or do I need to do one more
normalization
between all arrays (like quantile)?
Greatly appreciate the feedback.
