Computational Biology
Genomics

Background:

Batch effects complicate high-throughput molecular data analysis, especially in longitudinal studies where time is confounded with batch.
Existing batch-correction methods often assume sample independence, which is unrealistic for longitudinal microarray data.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce BRIDGE (Batch effect Reduction of microarray data with Dependent samples using Empirical Bayes), a novel method for batch-effect correction in longitudinal microarray studies.
To evaluate BRIDGE's performance against ComBat and longitudinal ComBat using simulations and real biological data.

Main Methods:

BRIDGE employs a three-step parametric empirical Bayes approach.
It specifically utilizes technical replicate samples ('bridge samples') across multiple timepoints/batches to inform batch-effect reduction.
Performance was benchmarked against ComBat and longitudinal ComBat.

Main Results:

All tested methods accurately estimated time effects.
BRIDGE demonstrated superior performance in removing batch effects from datasets containing bridging samples compared to ComBat and longitudinal ComBat.
BRIDGE showed improved statistical power in detecting genes with time-dependent expression changes.

Conclusions:

BRIDGE is a competitive method for reducing batch effects in confounded longitudinal microarray studies.
Its ability to leverage bridging samples enhances batch-effect removal and statistical power.
BRIDGE can serve as a valuable preprocessing step for longitudinal microarray data analysis.
