Many microarray probes contain inaccurate sequences, impacting gene expression data. Verifying probe sequences significantly enhances data precision and accuracy across different microarray platforms and applications.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Microarrays are widely used for genome-wide gene expression analysis.
  • Previous microarray technologies faced limitations in individual measurement precision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the accuracy of individual probe sequences in gene expression profiling.
  • To identify and quantify inaccurate probes on mammalian Affymetrix microarrays.

Main Methods:

  • Global assessment of individual probe sequence accuracy against mRNA reference sequences (RefSeq).
  • Comparison of data quality derived from sequence-verified probes versus inaccurate probes.

Main Results:

  • Over 19% of probes on mammalian Affymetrix microarrays were found to have inaccurate sequences.
