Batch effects and experimental shift are major sources for noise in a microarray dataset. Their effect on gene expression profiling has been largely ignored until now. This book provides a valuable insight into the nature of batch effects, providing guidance on possible ways of dealing with it and illustrating ways of keeping it to a minimum. Guidance in the design of balanced experiments is provided by leading experts in the field and examples are drawn from real-life examples.
