The Affymetrix U95 and U133 Latin Square spike-in datasets are reanalysed, together with a dataset from a version of the U95 spike-in experiment without a complex non-specific background. The approach uses a physico-chemical model which…
We analyze a series of publicly available controlled experiments (Latin square) on Affymetrix high density oligonucleotide microarrays using a simple physical model of the hybridization process. We plot for each gene the signal intensity…
The effect of target molecule depletion from the supernatant solution is incorporated into a physico-chemical model of hybridisation on oligonucleotide microarrays. Two possible regimes are identified: local depletion, in which depletion by…
In the past couple of years several studies have shown that hybridization in Affymetrix DNA microarrays can be rather well understood on the basis of simple models of physical chemistry. In the majority of the cases a Langmuir isotherm was…
The lack of specificity in microarray experiments due to non-specific hybridization raises a serious problem for the analysis of microarray data because the residual chemical background intensity is not related to the expression degree of…
We derive herein the limiting laws for certain stationary distributions of birth-and-death processes related to the classical model of chemical adsorption-desorption reactions due to Langmuir. The model has been recently considered in the…
The ability of oligonucleotide microarrays to measure gene expression has been hindered by an imperfect understanding of the relationship between input RNA concentrations and output signals. We argue that this relationship can be understood…
HDONA technology is predicated on two ideas. First, the differential between high-affinity (perfect match, PM) and lower-affinity (mismatch, MM) probes is used to minimize cross-hybridization. Second, several short probes along the…
We construct the complete structural phase diagram of polymer adsorption at substrates with attractive stripe-like patterns in the parameter space spanned by the adsorption affinity of the stripes and temperature. Results were obtained by…
DNA surface-hybridization biosensors utilize the selective hybridization of target sequences in solution to surface-immobilized probes. In this process, the target is usually assumed to be in excess, so that its concentration does not…

Despite the success and popularity of oligonucleotide arrays as a high-throughput technique for measuring mRNA expression levels, quantitative calibration studies have until now been limited. The main reason is that suitable data was not…
Quantifying interactions in DNA microarrays is of central importance for a better understanding of their functioning. Hybridization thermodynamics for nucleic acid strands in aqueous solution can be described by the so-called…
While designing oligonucleotide-based microarrays, cross-hybridization between surface-bound oligos and non-intended labeled targets is probably the most difficult parameter to predict. Although literature describes rules-of-thumb…
This paper studies microfluidic molecular communication receivers with finite-capacity Langmuir adsorption driven by an effective surface concentration. In the reaction-limited regime, we derive a closed-form single-pulse response kernel…
Test experiments of hybridization in DNA microarrays show systematic deviations from the equilibrium isotherms. We argue that these deviations are due to the presence of a partially hybridized long-lived state, which we include in a kinetic…
In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. E 68, 011906 (2003)], Naef and Magnasco suggested that the "bright" mismatches observed in Affymetrix microarray experiments are caused by the fluorescent molecules used to label RNA target sequences, which…
Gene expression analysis by means of microarrays is based on the sequence specific binding of mRNA to DNA oligonucleotide probes and its measurement using fluorescent labels. The binding of RNA fragments involving other sequences than the…
Highly mismatched alloys (HMA's) are a class of semiconductor alloys with large electronegativity differences between the alloying elements. We predict the absorption spectrum due to transitions between the split bands of a doped highly…
