Microarray Analysis Results

16.09.2004 First results on application of a tool CompositeModuleAnalyst (CMA owned by company BIOBASE GmbH) to cell-cycle microarray data

We are currently into analysis of Yeast cell-cycle data provided by et all ( http://sgdlite.princeton.edu/download/yeast_datasets/ ). The experiment consists of two full cell-cycles of yeast.



We took yeast promoters from Spellman et al. (http://genome-www.stanford.edu/cellcycle/data/rawdata/) with the use of http://rsat.ulb.ac.be/rsat/

CompositeModuleAnalyst reveals transcription factors, involved in regulation in given microarray data. Preliminarly results of applying CMA are follow:

For example, in the start of G2 phase (50m and 130m) works LEU3, REPCARF and TBP, but in the end of G2 phase (60m and 140m) works HSF, REPCARF and (TBP or GBF).

CMA found same sets of factors on experiments, related to same phase of cell-cycle. But correlation between genes expressions related to same phase is rather a bit lower than correlation between genes expressions related to other phases.

Now we are disscussing this results. If you are interested in participation in the discussion - please send an e-mail to info@biorainbow.com with topic "Discussion on CMA microarray analysis".
