Problems in microarray data analysis

RNA extracts might be different according to which environment and when they were extracted. It's related to false positive signals (DEG).

Platform difference : different set of DEG could be determined between cDNA microarray chip which measure expression pattern from two samples and oligonucleotide chip which measures from single sample (absolute expression level).
