Publishing expression data
• Background• Publishing requirements and
responsibilities• Pre-publication responsibilities
– Hybridization Annotation– Experiment Set Annotation
• Post-publication responsibilities– Making your data available
• Extremely difficult to either interpret or analyze expression results without being aware of all the variables
• Typically, these annotations, if they exist at all, are not attached to the data
Background : Interpretation and Analysis
Biological characteristics, experimental design, protocol parameters, filtering parameters, etc.
Perhaps in a lab notebook, eventual publication (if ever published), or in the worst scenario, only in the experimenter’s head
Background : MGED
• Microarray Gene Expression Database Society• http://www.mged.org/• Initially established November, 1999, Cambridge, UK. • Realized there were serious problems in
communicating the results of genomic-scale expression results
• Keen interest in a data standards, specifications, and transmission.
Background : Emerging standards
• MIAME : Minimal Information About a Microarray Experiment
– the requisite information needed to both verify your analysis and allow others to perform distinct analyses
– Nature Genetics (2001) 29, 365-371
• MAGE-ML: MicroArray Gene Expression Markup Language
– data format standard required for transmission and integration into other expression repositories
– Genome Biology (2002), 3(9):research0046.1–0046.9
Background : MIAME checklist
• MGED Guide to authors, editors and reviewers of microarray gene expression papers
• In the interests of full disclosure and open research, a checklist of requirements was proposed, aimed at allowing manuscript readers “to understand the experiment, to identify the sequences being assayed, and to interpret the resulting data. ”
http://www.mged.org/Workgroups/MIAME/miame_checklist.html
Publication Requirement?
… also being adopted by Cell and The Lancet - others to follow…
Publishing responsibilities
• Pre-publication– Provide the data and full annotation to the
reviewers and editors. – This may evolve to sending data to a repository
prior to publication (reviewer anonymity)• Post-publication
– For the foreseeable future, provide a static snapshot of the raw result data and filtered/clustered data along with the gene annotation at the time of publication
Implications of MIAME for Stanford Microarray Researchers
• As of December 1, 2002, anyone submitting a paper to a Nature journal must submit his/her data to a public microarray data repository (such as ArrayExpress).
• SMD users should start assembling and entering experimental data in preparation for more widespread acceptance of these standards.
MIAME checklist
Six parts 1. Biological Samples
2. Hybridizations
3. Data Normalization and Transformation
4. Experimental Design and Factors
5. Array Design
6. Measurements
SMD Stores Procedures
• Biological Sample (Channels 1 and 2)• Growth Conditions (Channels 1 and 2)• Treatment (Channels 1 and 2)• Extract Preparation (Channels 1 and 2)• Chromatin IP • Amplification (Channels 1 and 2)• Labeling (Channels 1 and 2)• Hybridization Conditions• Scanning Procedure (Channels 1 and 2)• Feature Extraction• User-defined Procedures
Recording Procedural Details : Two Mechanisms
• Full text Protocols– Great for providing the full documentation of the
protocol to a fellow researcher, but…– Poor for indicating which experimental parameter
is the key to the experimental design• Procedural parameters
– Great for supervised analysis and singling out the important details of the experiment, but…
– Poor for synthesizing the entire procedure together in a legible manner
Where are the tools?
Enter New Data
View Existing Data
List Existing Protocols
• Display within SMD, or View external resource
• Edit your protocol from the list
Edit Existing Protocol
Entering a New Protocol• Choose the procedure• Supply the formatted plain text, or a simple description if
providing the URL
Flowchart to Add Annotations
Edit your hybridizations
Use “Edit” to add procedural details to your experiments
Experiment Types
• CGH– Comparison of genomic copy number between samples
(Comparative Genome Hybridization). • Chromatin IP
– Investigation of DNA-protein interactions in which protein-bound DNA is immunoprecipitated.
• Expression (Type I)– Investigation of gene expression where the control sample is tailored
to the particular experiment (not a common reference).• Expression (Type II)
– Investigation of gene expression where the control RNA is made from a common reference.
• GMS– Genome Mismatch Scanning. Investigation of the parental origin of
genomic DNA.
Edit your hybridizations
Use “Edit” to add procedural details to your experiments
Associating a protocol with a hybridization
• Associate a previously entered protocol• Enter a new one, if need be
Adding Procedural Parameter Values for a Hybridization
• Same interface is used to add experimental parameter values
• Parameter values are linked directly to the hybridization
• Procedural parameters are modeled as experimental factors
Edit your hybridizations
Use “Edit” to add clinical annotation to your experiments
Associating Patient Information
• Patient parameters we store– Age at diagnosis– Sex– Ethnicity– Family History– Status– Time from Operation to
Death– Date of last follow-up– Patient lost prior to
follow-up?
Associating Clinical Sample Information
• Sample parameters we store– Tracking Information– Unique Sample ID– Linking Database– Sample Information– Sample Source– Time Post-mortem (hrs) of sample removal– Sample State, Size– Granularity– Organ of origin– Attending Surgeon– Pre-Operative Information– Prior Treatment– Clinical Stage– Post-Operative Information– Tumor Grade, Size, Type– Margins– Time from Diagnosis To Operation– Angioinvasion– Total Lymph Nodes– Positive Lymph Nodes– Pathological Stages FollowUp Information– Recurrence– Post Operative Therapy Time from Operation to
Recurrence

MIAME : Experimental Design
• Experimental Design and Factors– type of experiment (set of hybridizations)
– The number of hybridizations performed– experimental factors– hybridization design– the type of reference used for the
hybridization– quality control steps taken
Organizing Data: Arraylists vs Experiment Sets• Arraylists
– Personal list of experiments
– Contains no annotation
– More difficult to share with others
– Flat file that exists in your loader account
– Accessed through Advanced Search
• Experiment Sets– Annotated list of
experiments– Exists in the database
therefore dynamic (edit, delete, or annotate through a web interface)
– Easily shared with other users/ collaborators
– Extensible– Accessed through Basic
Search– Required for publication
within SMD
Easily convert your arraylist into an experiment set
Experiment Set Creation
Selecting the data for inclusion within the experiment set
• Select experiments using either the basic or advanced search as a starting point
Experiment Set Organization
Base Annotation for the Experiment Set
–Set description•For publications, this would likely be either the abstract or a figure legend
Finding Your Sets in SMD: Basic Search
Experiment Sets allow you to search data
on pre-defined experiment groups.
Edit your Experiment Set
Experiment Factors : Step 1
Procedures Parameters Measurements?
Experiment Factors : Step 2
These values can be automatically acquired/suggested from your procedural parameters values, but only if you have annotated your experiments.
Note: full text protocols cannot be utilized for this purpose, but fulfill their own purpose.
Benefits of Experiment Annotation
• Meet MIAME requirements• Meet publishing requirements (see above)
• Serve as a basis for new analysis tools
Post-publication responsibilities
• Making your data easily available and accessible for the foreseeable future– SMD– web supplement– public repositories
Post-publication : SMD
• Send us the name of your MIAME-annotated experiment set
• We’ll make the arrays world-viewable for you, and publicize your paper
• Gene annotations and normalizations may change, so you must also provide a distinct, static view (web supplement)
Contact [email protected]
Post-publication : web supplement• We encourage you to make a web supplement,
which represents a snapshot of the data, as published
• Options:1. You can make the web-site and host it on your own.
2. You can make the web-site on your own and you can ask us to host it.
3. You can ask us to construct one for you. Usually, given the amount of work that this entails (ask us ahead of time), the curator creating the website will expect collaborative consideration.
Contact [email protected]
Post-publication : repositories
– Submit your data to a public repository• ArrayExpress at the EBI
– http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/
• Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and NCBI– http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/
– We produce valid MAGE-ML for experiment sets and array designs and can communicate these to the repositories for you
