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)

Famous quotes containing the word basic:
“Of course I lie to people. But I lie altruistically—for our mutual good. The lie is the basic building block of good manners. That may seem mildly shocking to a moralist—but then what isn’t?”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
