Statistical challenges in the analysis of two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis experiments

Fodor et al. present a study published in Bioinformatics on the statistical challenges in the analysis of two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis experiments using the DeCyderTM software. A case study on the effect of smallpox vaccination is used to compare the results obtained from DeCyder to the results obtained by applying moderated t-tests adjusted for multiple comparisons to DeCyder output data that was additionally normalized.
