A Bayesian latent intensity model is introduced for the analysis of such data. The method improves the accuracy at which expressions can be measured in all ranges and extends the dynamic range of measured gene expression at the high end. Our method is generic and can be applied to data from any organism for imaging with any scanner that allows varying the laser power and for extraction with any image analysis software. Results from a self-self hybridization data set illustrate an improved precision in the estimation of the expression of genes compared to what can be achieved by applying standard methods and using only a single scan.

Introduction DNA microarray technology is used to study simultaneously the expression profile of a large number of distinct genes 1 . Several factors contribute to the accuracy with which these genes and their .
