Abstract
The Stanford Microarray Database (SMD) stores raw and normalized data
from microarray experiments, and provides web interfaces for researchers
to retrieve, analyze and visualize their data. The two immediate
goals for SMD are to serve as a storage site for microarray data
from ongoing research at Stanford University, and to facilitate the
public dissemination of that data once published, or released by
the researcher. Of paramount importance is the connection of microarray
data with the biological data that pertains to the DNA deposited
on the microarray (genes, clones etc.). SMD makes use of many public
resources to connect expression information to the relevant biology,
including SGD Ball,C.A., Dolinski,K., Dwight,S.S., Harris,M.A.,
