  • There are at least two independent sources of variability to be considered: first, the intrinsic noise levels related to the technology (type I noise), which includes noise components introduced by the enzymatic step used in the cRNA preparation (see Materials and methods) and the fluorescence measurement (scan); and second, the variability encountered in biological replicates.

  • In general, the required sample size depends on several factors: the true magnitude of the change of gene expression (say, d ), the desired statistical power (that is, probability) ( ) to detect the change, and the specified Type I error rate ( ). The problem of how to calculate the number of replicates for any given triplet ( d , , ) is equivalent to that of how the power depends on the pair ( d , ) and the number of replicates, which we consider in the paper.
