> Hi everyone I have used Agi4x44Preprocess (script below) to analyze three mouse (mgug4122a) Agilent microarray sets and I want to check if the methods I'm using make sense, as the number of significant p-values I'm getting seems quite high. I'm using Limma for the significance analysis. the lowest value I'm getting is 1.09667003222346e-12, while the adjusted p-value 2.43208513046197e-08. If I consider significant p-value below 0.01, I get 9721 significant ones, roughly half of the gene list. This was for one of the datasets, with 2 (four result sets) micorarrays, 1 for each treatment. For another similar dataset, 4 microarrays with 2 samples for each treatment, results are very similar. I also tried the approach in this page http://matticklab.com/index.php ?title=Single_channel_analysis_of_Agilent_microarray_data_with_Limma and the results seem better (I mean less p-values below 0.01). I was wondering what would be the suggested approach and if there's any reason that I'm getting so many values below 0.01, with some extreme values at 10-12 range. Is there a bug on Agi4x44Preprocess? It seism to get the same columns as the approach on the MAttick's lab webpage.

Did you try other methods for background subtraction, such as normexp?
