Response to: Comment on “Analysis of Microarray-Identified Genes and MicroRNAs Associated with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis”

Abstract EN

Recently, we were questioned [1] about the quality assessment of the raw data which we used in the article “Analysis of Microarray-Identified Genes and MicroRNAs Associated with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis” published in 14 May 2017 [2].

Aiming at this issue, we asked for the original qualified data of GSE32537 and GSE32538 from the previous authors in Yang’s group [3] and also tested the other samples from GSE53845 and GSE10667.

All the qualified control results for GSE32537 (Figure 1(a)–1(c)), GSE32538 (Figure 1(d)), GSE53845 (Table 1), and GSE10667 (Table 2) are listed as follows.

No unqualified samples were found.
