Synopsis

Background adjustment using sequence information

Description

Gcrma adjusts for background intensities in Affymetrix array data which include optical noise and non-specific binding (NSB). The main function gcrma converts background adjusted probe intensities to expression measures using the same normalization and summarization methods as a Robust Multiarray Average (RMA). Gcrma uses probe sequence information to estimate probe affinity to NSB. The sequence information is summarized in a more complex way than the simple GC content. Instead, the base types (A, T, G or C) at each position along the probe determine the affinity of each probe. The parameters of the position-specific base contributions to the probe affinity is estimated in an NSB experiment in which only NSB but no gene-specific binding is expected.
