Package: r-bioc-limma (3.42.2+dfsg-2)

linear models for microarray data

Microarrays are microscopic plates with carefully arranged short DNA strands and/or chemically prepared surfaces to which other DNA preferably binds. The amount of DNA binding at different locations of these chips, typically determined by a fluorescent dye, is to be interpreted. The technology is typically used with DNA that is derived from RNA, i.e to determine the activity of a gene and/or its splice variants. But the technology is also used to determine sequence variations in genomic DNA.

This Bioconductor package supports the analysis of gene expression microarray data, especially the use of linear models for analysing designed experiments and the assessment of differential expression. The package includes pre-processing capabilities for two-colour spotted arrays. The differential expression methods apply to all array platforms and treat Affymetrix, single channel and two channel experiments in a unified way.
