StressDB: A Locally Installable Web-Based Relational Microarray Database Designed for Small User Communities

摘要

We have built a microarray database, StressDB, for management of microarray data fromour studies on stress-modulated genes in Arabidopsis. StressDB provides small user groupswith a locally installable web-based relational microarray database. It has a simple andintuitive architecture and has been designed for cDNA microarray technology users.StressDB uses Windows?2000 as the centralized database server with Oracle?8i as the relational database management system. It allows users to manage microarray data anddata-related biological information over the Internet using a web browser. The source-codeis currently available on request from the authors and will soon be made freely availablefor downloading from our website athttp://arastressdb.cac.psu.edu.
