APPLICATION CATEGORY - EXPRESSION DATA MANAGEMENT

This set of applications provides the necessary housekeeping functions associated with storing, managing and distributing the massive quantity of gene expression data. These tools tend to focus on downstream management of Affymetrix data after the hybridization of the arrays. Data can be stored in flat files or in databases. Sample attributes are stored as well allowing quick searches for specific samples of interest. Often these applications are tightly integrated with analysis solutions from the same commercial provider.

Integromics' ArrayHub©
ArrayHub | Technical Specs | Support | Sales | Integromics

Integromics? ArrayHub? is an advanced database management system designed to store, organize and track a complete set of descriptive MIAME-compliant information for all tasks performed in microarray experiments (experimental factors, protocols, plates, hybridizations, samples, labeled extracts, etc). Interaction with analytical data is provided thanks to the seamless integration with R-Bioconductor, GCOS, Spotfire Decisionsite© and GeneSpring© software.

The user interface has been designed to provide workflow-oriented submission and display, facilitating thus an easier interaction with the system. ArrayHub© also provides LIMS features like management of entity?s approval status, user profiles and report generation.

The application has a client-server architecture. The package is deployed as a Java application with a relational database backend. The database supports the most popular management SQL-compatible systems like MySQL™ or Oracle™. Microarray core facilities can benefit from the ArrrayHub WebModule, a web-based utility to provide support of service requests from customers.
