High throughput screening of gene expression signatures

This paper focuses on microarray image analysis and discusses a completely automated approach to image processing, which eliminates human intervention . A system for automated image processing is described, which is capable of processing image files in a batch-mode thus allowing high-throughput of mi croarray image analysis. Grid-placement and spot finding are achieved witho ut operator's help. The software eliminates noise signals from the data ana lysis process and minimizes operator's involvement in the procedure.
