Elimination of laboratory ozone leads to a dramatic improvement in the reproducibility of microarray gene expression measurements

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Environmental ozone can rapidly degrade cyanine 5 (Cy5), a fluorescent dye commonly used in microarray gene expression studies. Cyanine 3 (Cy3) is much less affected by atmospheric ozone. Degradation of the Cy5 signal relative to the...
