RANDOMIZE: A Web Server for Data Randomization
Agaz Hussain WaniiD, D Armstrong, Jan DahrendorffiD, Monica UddiniD
Abstract
SummaryDNA methylation microarray data may suffer from batch effects due to improper handling of the samples during the plating process. RANDOMIZE is a web-based application designed to perform randomization of relevant metadata to evenly distribute samples across the factors typically responsible for batch effects in DNA methylation microarrays, such as row, chips and plates. Randomization helps to reduce the likelihood of bias and impact of difference among groups. AvailabilityThe tool is freely available online at https://coph-usf.shinyapps.io/RANDOMIZE/ and can be accessed using any web browser. Sample data and tutorial is also available with the tool.
