Background: Non-biological signal (or noise) has been the bane of microarray analysis.
Hybridization effects related to probe-sequence composition and DNA dye-probe interactions
have been observed in differential methylation hybridization (DMH) microarray experiments as
well as other effects inherent to the DMH protocol.
Results: We suggest two models to correct for non-biologically relevant probe signal with an
overarching focus on probe-sequence composition. The estimated effects are evaluated and the
strengths of the models are considered in the context of DMH analyses.
Conclusion: The majority of estimated parameters were statistically significant in all considered
models. Model selection for signal correction is based on interpretation of the estimated values and
their biological significance.
