Facilitating functional annotation of chicken microarray data

摘要: Modeling results from chicken microarray studies is challenging for researchers due to little functional annotation associated with these arrays. The Affymetrix GenChip genome array, one of the biggest arrays that serve as a key research tool study genomics, among few link gene products Gene Ontology (GO). However GO data presented by incomplete, example, they do not show references linked manually annotated functions. In addition, there no facilitates directly retrieve annotations their datasets This costs amount time in searching multiple databases information. We have improved breadth probesets on array 45% and quality 14%. also identified most significant diseases disorders, different types genes, known drug targets represented array. To facilitate other experimental we developed an Array Mapper (AGOM) help quickly corresponding information dataset. Results this will datasets. Researchers be able model dataset into more reliable biological using AGOM tool. disease, revealed allow learn about how genes function complex systems may lead new discovery development therapies. generated available public use via AgBase website updated regular basis.
