Abstract

We have developed a Pipeline for Integrated Microarray Expression & Normalization Tool kit (PIMENTo) with the aim of streamlining the processes necessary for gene expression analysis in tumor tissue using DNA microarrays. Built with the R programming language and leveraging several open-source packages available through CRAN and Bioconductor, PIMENTo enables researchers to perform complex tasks with a minimal number of operations. Here, we describe the pipeline, review necessary data inputs, examine data outputs and quality control assessments and explore the commands to perform such analysis.
