It is well known that Affymetrix microarrays are widely used to predict genome-wide gene expression and genome-wide genetic polymorphisms from RNA and genomic DNA hybridization experiments, respectively. It has recently been proposed to integrate the two predictions by use of RNA microarray data only. Although the ability to detect single feature polymorphisms (SFPs) from RNA microarray data has many practical implications for genome study in both sequenced and unsequenced species, it raises enormous challenges for statistical modelling and analysis of microarray gene expression data for this objective. Several methods are proposed to predict SFPs from the gene expression profile. However, their performance is highly vulnerable to differential expression of genes. The SFPs thus predicted are eventually a reflection of differentially expressed genes rather than genuine sequence polymorphisms. To address the problem, we developed a novel statistical method to separate the binding affinity between a transcript and its targeting probe and the parameter measuring transcript abundance from perfect-match hybridization values of Affymetrix gene expression data. We implemented a Bayesian approach to detect SFPs and to genotype a segregating population at the detected SFPs. Based on analysis of three Affymetrix microarray datasets, we demonstrated that the present method confers a significantly improved robustness and accuracy in detecting the SFPs that carry genuine sequence polymorphisms when compared to its rivals in the literature. The method developed in this paper will provide experimental genomicists with advanced analytical tools for appropriate and efficient analysis of their microarray experiments and biostatisticians with insightful interpretation of Affymetrix microarray data. One of the ultimate goals of genomics is to explore structural and functional variations of all genes in a genome. High-density oligo-microarray techniques enable prediction of genome-wide gene expression and genome-wide genetic polymorphisms from using RNA and genomic DNA samples, respectively. A recent proposal to integrate the two predictions by use of RNA microarray data alone has great practical implications in genomics. However, it is essential but very challenging to develop an appropriate analytical method for detecting genetic polymorphisms (SFPs) from RNA expression data, which are inherently coupled with various sources of biological and technical variations. This paper presents a novel statistical approach to detect SFPs from gene expression data. We demonstrated that the new method is significantly more robust to variation due to differential expression of genes and improves the reliability of calling SFPs that bear genuine sequence polymorphisms than the other five methods in the mainstream literature on SFP prediction from microarray data. The improved predictability of detecting SFPs not only confers accuracy in evaluating gene expression from microarray information, but also opens up an opportunity to integrate structural and functional analyses by using only one set of microarray data.
