Abstract
In this report, correlation of the pixels comprising a microarray spot is investigated. Subsequently, correlation statistics namely: Pearson correlation and Spearman rank correlation are used to segment the foreground and background intensity of microarray spots. The performance of correlation-based segmentation is compared to clustering-based (PAM, k-means) and seeded-region growing techniques (SPOT). It is shown that correlation-based segmentation is useful in flagging poorly hybridized spots, thus minimizes false-positives. The present study also raises the intriguing question of whether a change in correlation can be an indicator of differential gene expression.
