Several organizations such as the Microarray Gene Expression Data (MGED) Society and the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) have established guidelines to aid researchers in the design and implementation of microarray experiments [8, 9, 16] . As mentioned earlier, verification is critical in order to assign distinct expression patterns to specific genes with certainty (i.e. statistical significance) because of the inherent variability present in microarray data. To verify the results generated from microarray experiments, a combinatorial approach is usually needed; checking the statistical significance associated with the expression levels of specific genes, reviewing the literature, and conducting additional experiments such as RT-PCR or Northern blotting. A large number of microarray-related studies in the past have aimed to either characterize diseased cells in comparison to healthy cells or highlight the genes involved in a particular biological pathway [4, 8] .	./cache/cord-314503-u1y1bznk.txt	./txt/cord-314503-u1y1bznk.txt
