Significance Analysis of Microarrays - Basic Protocol

Basic Protocol

  • Perform microarray experiments — DNA microarray with oligo and cDNA primers, SNP arrays, protein arrays, etc.
  • Input Expression Analysis in Microsoft Excel — see below
  • Run SAM as a Microsoft Excel Add-Ins
  • Adjust the Delta tuning parameter to get a significant # of genes along with an acceptable false discovery rate (FDR)) and Assess Sample Size by calculating the mean difference in expression in the SAM Plot Controller
  • List Differentially Expressed Genes (Positively and Negatively Expressed Genes)

    Mental health depends upon the maintenance of a balance within the personality between the basic human urges and egocentric wishes on the one hand and the demands of conscience and society on the other hand.
