Impact of experimental noise and annotation imprecision on data quality in microarray experiments.

Data quality is intrinsically influenced by design, technical, and analytical parameters. Quality parameters have not yet been well defined for gene expression analysis by microarrays, though ad interim, following recommended good experimental practice guidelines should ensure generation of reliable and reproducible data. Here we summarize essential practical recommendations for experimental design, technical considerations, feature annotation issues, and standardization efforts.
