Abstract

SUMMARY: Large volumes of microarray data are generated and deposited in public databases. Most of this data is in the form of tab-delimited text files or Excel spreadsheets. Combining data from several of these files to reanalyze these data sets is time consuming. Microarray Data Assembler is specifically designed to simplify this task. The program can list files and data sources, convert selected text files into Excel files and assemble data across multiple Excel worksheets and workbooks. This program thus makes data assembling easy, saves time and helps avoid manual error. AVAILABILITY: The program is freely available for non-profit use, via email request from the author, after signing a Material Transfer Agreement with Johns Hopkins University.

The Longhorn Array Database (LAD): an open-source, MIAME compliant implementation of the Stanford Microarray Database (SMD).

BACKGROUND: The power of microarray analysis can be realized only if data is systematically archived and linked to biological annotations as well as analysis algorithms. DESCRIPTION: The Longhorn Array Database (LAD) is a MIAME compliant microarray database that operates on PostgreSQL and Linux. It is a fully open source version of the Stanford Microarray Database (SMD), one of the largest microarray databases. LAD is available at http://www.longhornarraydatabase.org CONCLUSIONS: Our development of LAD provides a simple, free, open, reliable and proven solution for storage and analysis of two-color microarray data.

Digital extractor: analysis of digital differential display output.

Digital Extractor is a program for the high-throughput processing of data sets derived from digital differential display-based comparisons of EST libraries. These comparisons can be utilized to identify discrete subsets of genes whose expression is restricted to distinct tissue types. The program facilitates these investigations by permitting parallel annotation of genes identified as being differentially expressed.

Achieving evolvable Web-database bioscience applications using the EAV/CR framework: recent advances.

The EAV/CR framework, designed for database support of rapidly evolving scientific domains, utilizes metadata to facilitate schema maintenance and automatic generation of Web-enabled browsing interfaces to the data. EAV/CR is used in SenseLab, a neuroscience database that is part of the national Human Brain Project. This report describes various enhancements to the framework. These include (1) the ability to create "portals" that present different subsets of the schema to users with a particular research focus, (2) a generic XML-based protocol to assist data extraction and population of the database by external agents, (3) a limited form of ad hoc data query, and (4) semantic descriptors for interclass relationships and links to controlled vocabularies such as the UMLS.
