Impact of the spotted microarray preprocessing method on fold-change compression and variance stability

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The standard approach for preprocessing spotted microarray data is to subtract the local background intensity from the spot foreground intensity, to perform a log2 transformation and to normalize the data with a global median or a lo...
