BASE at CINECA

The BASE installation at CINECA collects publicly available microarray data from GEO, ArrayExpress and SMD (Stanford) databases which relate to breast cancer. It also contains microarray data obtained from laboratories involved in the "Hormone Responsive Breast Cancer" project and from other laboratories that generally study genes responsible for this disease.

ArrayExpress

ArrayExpress is a public repository for microarray data, which is aimed at storing well annotated data in accordance with MGED recommendations.
