GeneX: An Open Source gene expression database and integrated tool set

Abstract

Because gene expression profiles are highly sensitive to sample and processing conditions, it is crucial to accurately represent these conditions along with the numeric data in a way that allows the conditions to be part of a query. The GeneX™ project is intended to provide an Open Source database and integrated tool set that will allow researchers to store and evaluate their gene expression data and, moreover, such evaluation will be independent of the technology used to obtain the data.
