     Welcome to the MicroArray Application System, a system that allows UM MicroArray researchers and laboratory personnel to retrieve and store information regarding:

  • DNA Information from databases such as GeneBank, UniGene, LocusLink.
  • Information about DNA clones generated by the UM Psychiatry/MBNI Laboratory.

 

 
ProbeMatchDB: for matching a list of microarray probes across different microrarray platforms (GeneChip, EST from different vendors, Operon Oligos) and species (human, mouse and rat). The capability to match protein sequence IDs has just been added to facilitate proteomic studies. The ProbeMatchDB is mainly used for the design of verification experiments or comparing the microarray results from different platforms.
 
 

Probe Identity and Reliability: find the latest UniGene ID for a list of EST accession numbers or Affymetrix probe IDs. The reliability of a particular human probe to represent a unique human gene is also calculated based on the clustering consistency of four major public domain clustering databases (UniGene, IMAGEne, TIGR and STACK). This function is mainly for the validation of probe identity and reliability before time-consuming follow-up studies.

 
 
Search EST: for identifying microarray probes satisfying biology-related criteria, including keyword in gene name, genomic location of genes and the tissue origin of cDNA libraries for the ESTs. Ontology, pathway and other functional category-based search will also be added. The Search EST function can be used for the selection of microarray platform that satisfying the user’s criteria (e.g., set of important genes that must present on the platform) as well as the design of custom microarrays.
 
 
Search SNP: facilitate the search of SNPs that statisfying user’s criteria (e.g., cause amino acid change in coding region) for a list of genes identified in microarray experiments.
 
 
SNP Function Portal provides all-in-one SNP functional properties search based on both genomic and genetic criteria.
 
 
SeqMatch allows you to map sequences against various sequence databases.
