Abstract
Twoโcolor cDNA or oligonucleotideโbased spotted microarrays have been commonly used in measuring the expression levels of thousands of genes simultaneously. To realize the immense potential of this powerful new technology, budgeted within limited resources or other constraints, practical designs with high efficiencies are in demand. In this study, we address the design issue concerning the arrangement of the mRNA samples labeled with fluorescent dyes and hybridized on the slides. A normalization model is proposed to characterize major sources of systematic variation in a twoโcolor microarray experiment. This normalization model establishes a connection between designs for twoโcolor microarray experiments with a particular class of classical rowโcolumn designs. A heuristic algorithm for constructing Aโoptimal or highly efficient designs is provided. Statistical optimality results are found for some of the designs generated from the algorithm. It is believed that the constructed designs are the best or very close to the best possible for estimating the relative gene expression levels among the mRNA samples of interest.

Gene expression microarray studies have led to interesting experimental design and statistical analysis challenges. The comparison of expression profiles across populations is one of the most common objectives of microarray experiments. In this manuscript we review some issues regarding design and s
In clinical trials, and in bioavailability and bioequivalence studies, one often encounters replicate cross-over designs such as a two-sequence three-period cross-over design to assess treatment and carry-over effects of two formulations of a drug product.

Two-stage global search designs for linkage analysis using pairs of affected relatives were shown by Elston et al. [1996] to typically halve the cost of a study compared to a one-stage design. The statistic used for testing linkage in that study was based on the proportion of pairs sharing no marker
