definition
A dye swap replicate is a replicate role which is borne by one of a pair of replicate assays in which LabeledExtracts derived from the same BioMaterial used for both assays (e.g., a hybridization or a 2-D gel run) differ only in that the dyes used for labeling have been reversed, e.g., assay 1: A-Cy3 vs. B-Cy5, and assay 2: A-Cy5 vs. B-Cy3. The purpose of using dye-swap replicate pairs is to assess or remove dye-specific biases from the combined experimental results.
