abstract: A sizable genomics study such as microarray often involves the use of multiple
  batches (groups) of experiment due to practical complication. To minimize batch
  effects, a careful experiment design should ensure the even distribution of biological
  groups and confounding factors across batches. OSAT (Optimal Sample Assignment Tool)
  is developed to facilitate the allocation of collected samples to different batches.
  With minimum steps, it produces setup that optimizes the even distribution of samples
  in groups of biological interest into different batches, reducing the confounding
  or correlation between batches and the biological variables of interest. It can
  also optimize the even distribution of confounding factors across batches. Our tool
  can handle challenging instances where incomplete and unbalanced sample collections
  are involved as well as ideal balanced RCBD. OSAT provides a number of predefined
  layout for some of the most commonly used genomics platform. Related paper can be
