Table 1 Design of spike-in experiment. The spike-in controls are two sets of ten synthesized RNA mixtures derived from the Adenovirus E1A transcriptome [31] with different concentrations in each set. The A mix was hybridized with Cy3 and the B Mix with Cy5 on each array, according to manufacturers recommendations, and in the recommended quantity.

From: Pre-processing Agilent microarray data
