Abstract :
The interest in methods that are able to efficiently compress microarray images is relatively new. This is not surprising, since the appearance and fast growth of the technology responsible for producing these images is also quite recent. In this paper, we present a set of compression results obtained with 49 publicly available images, using three image coding standards: lossless JPEG2000, JBIG, and JPEG-LS. We concluded that the compression technology behind JBIG seems to be the one that offers the best combination of compression efficiency and flexibility for microarray image compression.
