Dna microarray technology has led to rapid accumulation of gene expression data generated in the last several years. Microarrays may be used to measure gene expression in many ways, but one of the most popular applications is to compare expression of a set of genes from a. Transcription constitutes the intermediate step, where a dna segment that constitutes a gene is read and transcribed into a single stranded molecule of rna the 4. Geo serves as a unifying resource for these data, operating primarily as a public archive, but also providing flexible data mining strategies and tools that allow users to query, filter, select, and inspect data in the context of.
The increasing use of gene expression microarrays, and depositing of the resulting data into public repositories, means that more investigators. Software is absolutely essential to the analysis of microarray data. This means that data tends to go through a series of individual software applications that mirror the steps in the workflow in fig.
