Identification of microarray probe signals constantly present in multiple sample types (part 1)

The correlation of the RNA profiles obtained by microarray analysis was compared with that obtained from RNA-Seq by using reduced complexity sperm datasets. This resolved as a series of discordant probes. The extent of discordancy among other datasets was then determined. A correlative study between probe’s signal intensity from Illumina bead arrays with its transcript level detected by next generation sequencing technique was performed. RNAs from sperm and testis samples were applied
