Data mining of public microarray datasets is increasing. This study found only moderate overlap between oligonucleotide and cDNA microarray platforms, highlighting the need for caution when combining data from different systems.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Public release of microarray data sets is becoming a publication prerequisite.
  • Large-scale data mining of public repositories is expected to increase.
  • Assessing the comparability of data from different microarray platforms is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the compatibility of gene expression data generated from two major high-throughput microarray platforms: oligonucleotide-based and cDNA-based.
  • To determine the degree of overlap and concordance in gene expression calls between these platforms.

Main Methods:

  • Compared results from oligonucleotide and cDNA microarray platforms using RNA from human colonic mucosa of five individuals.
  • Analyzed 715 sequence-verified genes common to both platforms.
  • Assessed agreement in 'present' or 'absent' gene calls and correlation of expression levels.

Main Results:

  • A 64% match was observed in 'present' or 'absent' calls for sequence-verified genes between the two platforms.
  • Discordance was influenced by factors like Alu repeats and annotation errors but not fully explained.
  • Expression levels of overlapping genes showed weak correlation, indicating limited agreement.

Conclusions:

  • There is only moderate overlap in results between oligonucleotide and cDNA microarray platforms.
  • Careful consideration is needed when performing large-scale analyses using data from different microarray systems.
  • Platform differences can significantly impact the interpretation of gene expression studies.
