ArrayQ: Querying Microarray Expressions for Relevant Pathways

One of the principal features of DNA microarrays is the volume of quantitative data that they generate. As a result, the major challenges in the field are how to handle, interpret and make use of these data. Currently, there are a large number of tools available which perform statistical analysis for constructing a significant gene set from the microarray data. There are others who given a set of genes, figure out the pathways, protein-protein interaction and other biological process that are represented by these genes. In this paper, we describe a comprehensive Web-based tool for analyzing DNA microarray data. Our goal is to bring the database and statistical aspect of constructing a significant gene set into a single platform. We also propose a novel method for representing the global picture of interaction between pathways.
