Network meta-analysis correlates with analysis of merged independent transcriptome expression data

Abstract Background Using meta-analysis, high-dimensional transcriptome expression data from public repositories can be merged to make group comparisons that have not been considered in the original studies. Merging of high-dimensional expression data can, however, implicate batch effects that are s...
