PY - 2005 DA - 2005/07/22 TI - Comparing independent microarray studies: the case of human embryonic stem cells JO - BMC Genomics SP - 99 VL - 6 IS - 1 AB - Microarray studies of the same phenomenon in different labs often appear at variance because the published lists of regulated transcripts have disproportionately small intersections. We demonstrate that comparing studies by intersecting lists in this manner is methodologically flawed by reanalyzing three studies of the molecular signature of "stemness" in human embryonic stem cells. There are only 7 genes common to all three published lists, suggesting disagreement. SN - 1471-2164 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2164-6-99 DO - 10.1186/1471-2164-6-99 ID - Suárez-Fariñas2005 ER -
