|---|
We present a fast, versatile and adaptive-multiscale algorithm for analyzing a wide-variety of DNA microarray data. Its primary application is in normalization of array data as well as subsequent identification of enriched targets, e.g. differentially expressed genes in expression profiling arrays and enriched sites in ChIP-on-chip experimental data.
We show how to accommodate the unique characteristics of ChIP-on-chip data, where the set of enriched targets is large, asymmetric and whose proportion to the whole data varies locally.
