基因表达谱微阵列数据库是一类可提供存储、查询、下载分析的在线网络数据库,在肿瘤相关领域的研究中提供了大量的数据来源。由于微阵列分析对于无生物/医学信息学专业背景的研究人员仍然有较多困难,致使该数据库的使用尚未普及。本文从数据查询、下载分析和使用方法等方面对常用基因表达谱微阵列数据库进行概述,并对现阶段基因表达微阵列数据库的应用策略进行总结,旨在帮助该领域研究的初学工作者了解数据库的基本知识并推动其在科研工作中的应用。
Online microarray database has become a public depot with stored measurements,searchable indexes,and even analytical interpretations. Many of these databases collect data from cancer related research. The access and usage of such data can be further intensified. This paper described methods of data query,download,and analysis about the common platforms for gene expression microarray database.We hope to help the beginners to learn and understand the related background.
