ArrayProspector: a web resource of functional associations inferred from microarray expression data.

DNA microarray experiments have provided vast amounts of data which can be used for inferring gene function. However, most methods for predicting functional associations between genes from expression data are not suited to simultaneous analysis of multiple datasets, and a comprehensive resource of coexpression-based predictions is currently lacking. Here, we present an interactive web resource of gene associations predicted by applying a novel algorithm to all expression data in the Stanford Microarray Database. The underlying pre-computed database currently contains more than 200 000 high-confidence gene associations in 12 different species sampled from a broad taxonomic range. The resource allows every association to be inspected visually and can be accessed at http://www.bork.embl.de/ArrayProspector.

Interactions between human explicit and implicit perceptual motor learning shown by kinematic variables.

The goal of this study was to investigate in non-impaired humans the interaction between explicit and implicit learning in a catching task. The situation presented probabilistic contingencies between visual signals and various final pathways of the target. Subjects were asked to practice the interception task for 320 trials. Explicit instructions describing the probabilistic rules were given prior to (11 subjects), or in the middle of (11 subjects), physical practice. Eleven subjects not provided with verbal instructions served as control subjects. We measured the combination between explicit verbal instructions and implicit learning via kinematics of the end-effector and an outcome measure (i.e. spatial error). The time when explicit instructions were given resulted in systematic changes in the spatio-temporal ordering of the action. These data suggested that analyzing the way the task is executed with scrutiny allows a new understanding of how the aforementioned learning systems interact.
