What is the goal of AMAD?
To provide a means for storage, retrieval, and extraction of microarray data by means of a centralized web based server. Many investigators pursuing array based experiments are ill-prepared to handle the overwhelming flood of data. The use of stop-gap measures, such as Excel and FileMaker Pro, become rapidly inadequate and cumbersome. With AMAD, a researcher with no prior UNIX or database skills may rapidly and cheaply set up a database system capable of storing thousands of gene expression experiments.
