Many supervised and unsupervised methods have been developed for the analysis of individual microarray datasets. However, integrated analysis of multiple datasets can provide a broader insight into genetic regulation of specific biological pathways under a variety of conditions.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results: To aid in the analysis of such large compendia of microarray experiments, we present Microarray Experiment Functional Integration Technology (MEFIT), a scalable Bayesian framework for predicting functional relationships from integrated microarray datasets. Furthermore, MEFIT predicts these functional relationships within the context of specific biological processes. All results are provided in the context of one or more specific biological functions, which can be provided by a biologist or drawn automatically from catalogs such as the Gene Ontology (GO). Using MEFIT, we integrated 40 Saccharomyces cerevisiae microarray datasets spanning 712 unique conditions. In tests based on 110 biological functions drawn from the GO biological process ontology, MEFIT provided a 5% or greater performance increase for 54 functions, with a 5% or more decrease in performance in only two functions.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Contact: \u00a0ogt@cs.princeton.edu<\/jats:p><jats:p>Supplementary information: Supplementary data, a collection of predictions made by MEFIT and software implementing MEFIT are available online at .<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btl492","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,9,28]],"date-time":"2006-09-28T00:23:53Z","timestamp":1159403033000},"page":"2890-2897","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":119,"title":["A scalable method for integration and functional analysis of multiple microarray datasets"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Curtis","family":"Huttenhower","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, Princeton University \u00a0 Princeton, NJ, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matt","family":"Hibbs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, Princeton University \u00a0 Princeton, NJ, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chad","family":"Myers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, Princeton University \u00a0 Princeton, NJ, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Olga G.","family":"Troyanskaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, Princeton University \u00a0 Princeton, NJ, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,9,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023012409223049100_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"55","DOI":"10.1038\/nrg1749","article-title":"Microarray data analysis: from disarray to consolidation and consensus","volume":"7","author":"Allison","year":"2006","journal-title":"Nat.
