Figure 1From: The IronChip evaluation package: a package of perl modules for robust analysis of custom microarraysIronChip analysis work flow. (A) Flow chart of ICEP data processing and evaluation. Data evaluation with ICEP is organized into three functional modules: Single feature, EST and transcript evaluation. (B) In our application example, hybridized microarrays were scanned on a GenePix 4000B Microarray Scanner (Axon Instruments, Union City, CA, USA) and processed (feature background subtraction and normalization) by the ChipSkipper software [8]. ICEP uses these output files (generic tab-delimited text tables containing the normalized signal intensity and background data) for further analysis.Back to article page
