    摘要: Automated methods and systems for determining an in-focus-distance for a position on the surface of a molecular array substrate using a molecular array scanner are provided. A signal from a first position of an array substrate is detected and noise is filtered out of the detected signal using a symmetrical filter to produce an in-focus-distance. In one embodiment, the in-focus-distance is utilized as an estimated in-focus-distance at a second position of the array substrate. The method finds use in maintaining the focus of a light source while scanning the array by the scanner. Also provided are methods of assaying a sample using the methods and systems of the invention, and kits for performing the invention. The subject invention finds use in a variety of different applications, including both genomics and proteomics applications.

    摘要: Optical scanner system approaches are described in which novel focusing approaches are provided. A control algorithm accounts for geometric variation of successive scans in opposite directions across a microarray slide or substrate in order to provide optimized focus. The feedback approach taught may involve PI or PID terms. In either type of control approach, a projected slope of the slide is calculated and followed back and forth outside a scan region of the array in exiting and entering fully adaptive focusing zones, respectively. During turn-around, the system may track a setpoint between the periods of following the extrapolated slope. Also provided are methods of using the subject system in a biopolymer array based application, including genomic and proteomic applications.

    摘要: Methods, systems and computer readable media for analysis of comparative genomic hybridization data analysis, including creating a centralization curve from log ratio data values for DNA copy numbers of a genome of a test sample relative to a genome of a reference sample, wherein the reference sample has a known ploidy, and the test sample has a same copy number as the reference sample in normal, non-aberrant genomic regions; identifying a peak corresponding to regions of normal copy number in the centralization curve; centralizing the log ratio data so that the peak corresponding to regions of normal copy number is centered at a log ratio value of zero; calculating a mathematical measurement that is a function of the width of the peak corresponding to regions of normal copy number; calculating a tolerance value as a function of the mathematical measurement; and outputting the tolerance value. Methods, systems and computer readable media are provided to create a centralization curve from log ratio data values for DNA copy numbers of a genome of a test sample relative to a genome of a reference sample, wherein the reference sample has a known ploidy, and the test sample has a same copy number as the reference sample in normal, non-aberrant genomic regions; identify peaks in the centralization curve; assign copy numbers to the identified peaks; plot expected ratios, based on the assigned copy numbers, of the peaks versus observed ratios of the peaks calculated from the log ratio data values; conclude that the assigned copy numbers are correct if the plot of the expected ratios versus the observed ratios is substantially linear; and output at least one of the plot of expected ratios versus observed ratios, and a conclusion as to whether the plot is substantially linear.

    摘要: A method and system for preventing signal clipping in a molecular array scanner by adding an offset signal to the signal generated by the photodetectors and initial stages of signal processing within a molecular array scanner in order to promote the signal above the level where signal information is lost during analog-to-digital signal conversion and/or digital signal integration. A portion of the offset is then subtracted from the digital signal or integrated digital signals, leaving a smaller, constant offset that is reported to the user, stored in a data file, or otherwise made available for further correction during later molecular array data processing.

    摘要: A system and method of operating a data processing system to provide feature extraction from an image obtained from a plurality of chemical arrays is disclosed. The method includes bifurcating processing of the image by performing image processing and post-processing. The image processing includes processing parts of the image, each part corresponding to a different one of the arrays, in an automated batch process, to produce image-processed outputs that are different from the image and contain information extracted from the image. The post-processing includes processing the image-processed outputs according to different post-processing protocols with respect to different ones of those parts of the image corresponding to at least two of the arrays, to produce post-processed outputs. The method includes outputting at least one of the image-processed outputs and/or at least one of the post-processed outputs.
