INFORMATION
Disclaimer The resources mentioned on this page are in no way endorsed by WEHI and are merely a snapsot of resources available at the time that we were looking to use one of these resources ourselves. This page is irregularly updated and may well not include some available resources. Please note that if you would like to be added to this page, it is only for microarray data storage databases (which may be packaged with tools for analysis), and does not include any projects regarding analysis only.
The following table is set up to provide an easy resource for people wanting to look around for a database to set up in their own institution for the storage of their own microarray data. There are numerous other databases that provide a facility for searching other lab's microarray data, but these are not referred to on this page.

M indicates which databases are MIAME compliant. To find out more about MIAME click here
O indicates which databases are Open Source
