The Yale Microarray Database Project is a collaborative effort between several
laboratories and centers to meet the urgent need to:
Archive (i.e. Oracle) and retrieve via query statements microarray images (each of
which may be 50 megabytes for a two channel experiment) and accompanying analysis data
from hundreds of different investigators.
Link each high resolution (i.e. single pixel) spot image with its attendant
quantitative analysis data and NCBI sequence database entry.
Enable the facile use of a variety of statistical tools (some of which should be
provided within the software package - others of which are available on the Web or will be
developed later) to judge the significance of the microarray data and to then analyze it
(i.e. cluster analysis).
Make all of the above available via a web based interface.
If you are interested in supporting this effort, either at the university,
departmental, section, or individual level please contact any of the
YMD people.
