MBR 20070206

:: DESCRIPTION

MBR (Microarray Blob Remover) is a microarray JAVA tool which allows rapid visualization, detection, and removalof blob-like defects as an initial quality control step. The software allows rapid visualization, detection, and removal of blob defects of a variety of sizes and shapes from different types of microarrays using their .CEL files. Removal of the affected probes in the blob-defects using MBR was shown to significantly improve sensitivity and FDR compared to leaving the affected probes in the analysis.
