Nal prior to correlation. (D) The result at observation point o2 indicates that a mass change of p53- strongly correlates to AML differentiation.I,b = aa + sxx = a – sx y =b – syb + syI x ,yI+ dx ,b+ dy = aa + sxx = a – sx y =b – syb + syI x ,yThese two images were then subtracted to yield O = I – I, which was subsequently put back into the gel-stack. If there was a correlation between the – difference and the FAB classification then we would find it at observation point o1 in Fig. 5. We did not find a correlation, indicating that the difference between -intensity and -intensity does not relate to the FAB classification.Does mass-difference relate to the FAB classification ? Fig. 4 shows the sub- region correlating negative and the region correlating positive, indicating that a mass-difference might be related to the FAB classification. Setting up this specific question is similar to the previous, but without summation of regions. The image pre-processing measures the difference between the intensity at a certain position y and intensities at the same position, but with a lower mass (y – dm). If I is an image from the gel stack, then O defines the new imageOx,y = Ix,y – Ix,y-dm When using these preprocessed images into a correlation analysis, we found that observation point o2 BAY1217389 web revealed that indeed a mass-difference relates to the FAB classification.Page 9 of(page number not for citation purposes)BMC Bioinformatics 2006, 7:http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/7/Remembering the relative weak correlation in the FAB classification (0.2 and -0.2 at the specified areas), we now find a much strong correlation: 0.507. This illustrates how the correlation images can be used to naturally explore data sets.Performance The complexity of the algorithm is linear to the size of the images and the number of images. If we have n images of width w and height h then the calculation time will be in the order of O(w.h.n). The memory considerations are the same because all images need to be loaded in memory. E.g; 100 images of 1024 ?1024 pixels with 16 bit gray values will require around 200 Mb of internal memory. More information on complexity measurement can be found at [46,47].Future development of the method could include adjustments and corrections for hardware-parameters such as camera warping and different kinds of noise. Canonical correlations could be used to integrate information offered by similar neighboring correlation pixels [48,49]. It could also be possible to insert clustering algorithms to pseudo-color the final image or use image segmentation algorithms to classify areas automatically [50,51]. In its present form we believe the method provides a valuable tool to explore and analyze complex biosignatures and responses from signaling networks.MethodsThe correlation analysis The 2DE image correlation technique relies on a large amount of 2DE images of a biological system. Every gel needs to be described by an external numerical measure. For every n gels (described as Az in which z is the gel image number), there are n external parameters, described as Tz. Gels can further be annotated as Ax,y,z in which (x, y) is the position on gel number z. Ax,y is a vector containing the intensities of all gels:ConclusionThe presented results demonstrated that the correlation method PubMed ID:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27735993 can provide valuable information about complexly regulated proteins in biological systems. The analysis technique can be used to measure and visualize relations between 2D.
