Authors of several recent papers have independently introduced a family of transformations (the generalized-log family), which stabilizes the variance of microarray data up to the first order. However, for data from two-color arrays, tests for differential expression may require that the variance of the difference of transformed observations be constant, rather than that of the transformed observations themselves.
