Introduction
for their rigorous scrutiny of data quality before starting data analysis.
Presented by Kevin Coombes, their paper not only revealed the existence of
errors in the Project Normal data set, but also specified the exact nature of
the problems and included the methods used to detect these problems. See
below for more details on these data set errors.
The scientific committee chose two data sets for CAMDA ‘02. The first,
called Project Normal came from The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and it
showed the variation of baseline gene expression levels in the liver, kidney
and testis of six normal mice. By using a 5406-clone spotted cDNA
microarray, Pritchard et al. concluded that replications are necessary in
microarray experiments. The second data set came from the Latin Square
Study at Affymetrix Inc. This benchmark data set was created to develop
statistical algorithms for microarrays. Sets of fourteen genes with known
concentrations were spiked into a complex background solution and
hybridized on Affymetrix chips. Data was obtained with replicates and both
Human and E. Coli chips were studied.
As mentioned above, there were errors in the Project Normal dataset that
were undetected until CAMDA abstracts were submitted. Once we received
the Stivers et al. abstract, we asked the original Project Normal authors to
confirm their findings. The errors in the data set were verified and after
much discussion among the Scientific Committee members, a decision was
made to keep the contest going to allow the Stivers group to report and
discuss their finding of data abnormalities at the conference. Actually, many
groups revealed various aspects of the data abnormalities, but the Stivers
group not only realized that a problem existed, but also identified the

After presenting the three tutorial papers, naturally the first conference
paper is the one voted as Best Presentation. We then divide the book into
subject areas covering image analysis, data normalization, variance
characterization, cross hybridization, and finally pattern searching. At the
end of this introduction, you will also find a link to the web companion to
this volume.
Analyzing Images
Raw microarray data first exists as a scanned image file. Differences in
spot size, non-uniformity of spots, heterogeneous backgrounds, dust and
scratches all contribute to variations at the image level. In Chapter 5, David
Lalush characterizes such parameters and discusses ways to simulate
additional microarray images for use in developing image analysis
algorithms.
On the Affymetrix platform, hybridization operators have observed that
the images tend to form some kind of mysterious pattern. In Chapter 6,
Andrey Ptitsyn argues that there indeed is a background pattern. He further
postulates that the pattern might be caused by the fluid dynamics in the
hybridization chamber.
