From: TMA-Combiner, a simple software tool to permit analysis of replicate cores on tissue microarrays
The TMA-combiner data processing scheme. This scheme is based on minor modifications to the data processing paradigm for our previously described software tools.1 The process starts with one or more TMAs containing replicate cores, such as the two depicted here. Below these are the replicate core images, along with their scores and TreeView color box representations. Previously, each TMA would be separately processed, as shown. However, the TMA-Combiner combines the data from the two arrays immediately following deconvolution. The end result is a single TreeView window displaying combined data from both TMAs; the number in parentheses indicates the number of cores analyzed for this sample. While this figure depicts only a single representative core image for the combined GIST #43, the updated Stainfinder can retrieve and display all six cores used to produce the combined score.
