metahdep: meta-analysis of hierarchically dependent gene expression studies

Bioinformatics. 2009 Oct 1;25(19):2619-20. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btp468. Epub 2009 Jul 30.

Abstract

The metahdep package contains tools for combining the results of multiple gene expression studies. Unlike previous microarray meta-analysis packages, metahdep accounts for both sampling and hierarchical dependence among studies, as well as fundamental covariate differences between studies.
