Abstract
Management and analysis of the huge amounts of data produced by microarray experiments is becoming one of the major bottlenecks in the utilization of this high-throughput technology. We describe the basic design of a microarray gene expression database to help microarray users and their informatics teams to set up their information services. We describe two data models — a simpler one called ArrayExpressB and the complete model ArrayExpressC, and discuss some implementation issues. For latest developments see http: www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress.
