The power of microarray analysis can be realized only if data is systematically archived and linked to biological annotations as well as analysis algorithms.
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
Our development of LAD provides a simple, free, open, reliable and proven solution for storage and analysis of two-color microarray data.
只有当数据被系统存档并与生物学注释以及分析算法相关联时,微阵列分析的强大功能才能得以实现。
长角牛阵列数据库(LAD)是一个符合MIAME标准的微阵列数据库,运行于PostgreSQL和Linux系统上。它是最大的微阵列数据库之一——斯坦福微阵列数据库(SMD)的完全开源版本。可通过http://www.longhornarraydatabase.org访问LAD。
我们对LAD的开发为双色微阵列数据的存储和分析提供了一个简单、免费、开放、可靠且经过验证的解决方案。
