Abstract

DNA microarrays are state-of-the-art tools in biological and medical research. In this work, we discuss the suitability of lossy compression for DNA microarray images and highlight the necessity for a distortion metric to assess the loss of relevant information. We also propose one possible metric that considers the basic image features employed by most DNA microarray analysis techniques. Experimental results indicate that the proposed metric can identify and differentiate important and unimportant changes in DNA microarray images.
