Jetset: selecting an optimal microarray probe set to represent a gene
Qiyuan Li, Nicolai J. Birkbak, Balazs Gyorffy, Zoltan Szallasi, and Aron C. Eklund
BMC Bioinformatics 2011, 12:474

Summary: On Affymetrix gene expression microarrays, a given gene may be detected by multiple probe sets which may deliver inconsistent or even contradictory measurements. Therefore, obtaining an unambiguous expression estimate of a pre-specified gene can be nontrivial. We developed scoring methods to assess each probe set for specificity, coverage, and degradation resistance. We used these scores to select the optimal probe set for each gene, and thus create a simple one-to-one mapping between gene and probe set.

News

July 30, 2015: jetset is now on GitHub.

July 23, 2015 - After an unexplainable 5 year delay, jetset is now available on CRAN!

Release information

The jetset algorithm utilizes two sources of external data:

mRNA sequences from RefSeq
RefSeq-to-gene mappings from the R/Bioconductor package org.Hs.eg.db.

Easy installation of the R package

install.packages('jetset')

Data in CSV format

Current versions can be downloaded from the following table. The data in the CSV files and the data in the R package are essentially identical. The CSV files are intended for people who don't use R.
