ArraySearch : A Web-Based Genomic Search Engine

Abstract EN

Recent advances in microarray technologies have resulted in a flood of genomics data.

This large body of accumulated data could be used as a knowledge base to help researchers interpret new experimental data.

ArraySearch finds statistical correlations between newly observed gene expression profiles and the huge source of well-characterized expression signatures deposited in the public domain.

A search query of a list of genes will return experiments on which the genes are significantly up- or downregulated collectively.

Searches can also be conducted using gene expression signatures from new experiments.

This resource will empower biological researchers with a statistical method to explore expression data from their own research by comparing it with expression signatures from a large public archive.
