Product Description:
Analysis of microarray data using gene annotation is essential for the identification of aberrant pathways in tumors. To address this need, we have developed an application called Function Express, an ETL tool that annotates probes on microarrays using publicly available biomedical databases and automatically update these annotations on a regular basis. This data can be queried using a web-based query interface or programmatically using the caCore-like Application Programming Interface (API). |
