Application of independent component analysis to microarrays

Table 1 The five datasets used in our analysis

Source (paper, datasets)	Array type	Description	Number of genes	Number of experiments
[46, 52]	Spotted	Budding yeast during cell cycle and CLB2/CLN3 overactive strain	4,579	22
[47, 54]	Oligonucleotide	Budding yeast during cell cycle	6,616	17
[48, 56]	Spotted	Yeast in various stressful conditions	6,152	173
[8, 59]	Spotted	C. elegans in various conditions	17,817	553
[45, 53]	Oligonucleotide	Normal human tissue including 19 kinds of tissues	7,070	59

For each dataset, the source of the dataset, the type of microarray, the organism, a short description of the experimental conditions, the number of genes, and the number of experiments, are shown.
