Agilent Feature Extraction for CytoGenomics software is part of the Agilent CytoGenomics software package. It runs in the background to automatically extract data from microarray images in Agilent CytoGenomics workflows. It performs tasks such as finding and adjusting microarray grids, rejecting outlier pixels, calculating feature intensities and ratios accurately, flagging outlier features, and generating data.
The Agilent Feature Extraction for CytoGenomics software is installed as part of the Agilent CytoGenomics package. It automatically extracts data from microarray images, including finding grids, adjusting intensities, and calculating statistical confidences. While it normally runs in the background, this guide explains how to run it separately for manual grid adjustment or protocol changes.
The software automatically extracts microarray images, finds and adjusts grids, rejects outlier pixels, calculates feature intensities and ratios, flags outliers, and calculates statistical confidences.
You must run the program separately if automatic grid placement for a microarray failed or if changes to a protocol are required.
The software extracts data from Agilent microarrays scanned on an Agilent scanner and non-Agilent microarrays scanned on an Agilent scanner.
