caArray Work Group

The mission of the caArray Work Group is to identify and prioritize the needs of the larger cancer research community with respect to the capture, storage, and utilization of microarray data and related types of genetic data. Specifically, we will address the need for:

• A database for the storage and retrieval of microarray data and related data types that can be incorporated into the larger scheme of federated databases that store clinically relevant data and other relevant data types.
• Software that facilitates the capture of important microarray experimental information and automatically loads it into a database.
• Software that facilitates the querying of microarray databases and the retrieval of data.
• Consumers and producers of microarray data to readily exchange data

The caArray Work Group is part of the Integrative Cancer Research (ICR)Workspace.

Who should get involved?

Clinicians, experimental biologists, software developers, industry, academic, and clinical laboratory heads are encouraged to get involved in the caArray Work Group.

Individuals interested in participating are invited to join the caArray Work Group SIG Listserv. The Listserv serves as the primary means of communication for the Work Group. Meeting announcements are posted to the Listserv prior to the meeting.
