They reveal whether a gene is turned on or off, and whether that gene is naughty or nice. But the mountains of information microarrays create often languish in obscure databases. Now, software engineers are finally getting together with biologists to translate the pile of letters and numbers into scientific discoveries.(...) "Web tools for sharing large-scale gene-expression data are very important not only for laboratories to share data, (but also to) reduce unnecessary duplicative efforts, and to pool data for achieving statistical significance (...).
