Different methods for probe alignment, normalization and statistical analysis are included to account for systematic bias. Student's t-test, moderated t-tests, non-parametric tests and analysis of variance or covariance (ANOVA\/ANCOVA) are among the choices of algorithms for differential analysis of data. Users also have the flexibility to define new factors and create new analysis models to fit complex experimental designs. All data can be queried or browsed through a web browser. The computations can be performed in parallel on symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) systems or Linux clusters.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Availability: The software package is available for the use on a public web server (http:\/\/www.webarraydb.org) or can be downloaded.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Contact: \u00a0xqxia70@gmail.com; mcclelland.michael@gmail.com; yipengw@gmail.com<\/jats:p><jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btp430","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,15]],"date-time":"2009-07-15T02:04:52Z","timestamp":1247623492000},"page":"2425-2429","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["WebArrayDB: cross-platform microarray data analysis and public data repository"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Xiao-Qin","family":"Xia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Vaccine Research Institute San Diego, 10835 Road to the Cure, San Diego, CA 92121, USA, 2Department of Oralogy, 3Department of Dermatology, China Japan Union Hospital, Jilin University, Changchun, 130031, China and 4Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697, USA"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"McClelland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Vaccine Research Institute San Diego, 10835 Road to the Cure, San Diego, CA 92121, USA, 2Department of Oralogy, 3Department of Dermatology, China Japan Union Hospital, Jilin University, Changchun, 130031, China and 4Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697, USA"}]},{"given":"Steffen","family":"Porwollik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Vaccine Research Institute San Diego, 10835 Road to the Cure, San Diego, CA 92121, USA, 2Department of Oralogy, 3Department of Dermatology, China Japan Union Hospital, Jilin University, Changchun, 130031, China and 4Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697, USA"}]},{"given":"Wenzhi","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Vaccine Research Institute San Diego, 10835 Road to the Cure, San Diego, CA 92121, USA, 2Department of Oralogy, 3Department of Dermatology, China Japan Union Hospital, Jilin University, Changchun, 130031, China and 4Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697, USA"},{"name":"1 Vaccine Research Institute San Diego, 10835 Road to the Cure, San Diego, CA 92121, USA, 2Department of Oralogy, 3Department of Dermatology, China Japan Union Hospital, Jilin University, Changchun, 130031, China and 4Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697, USA"}]},{"given":"Xianling","family":"Cong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Vaccine Research Institute San Diego, 10835 Road to the Cure, San Diego, CA 92121, USA, 2Department of Oralogy, 3Department of Dermatology, China Japan Union Hospital, Jilin University, Changchun, 130031, China and 4Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697, USA"}]},{"given":"Yipeng","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Vaccine Research Institute San Diego, 10835 Road to the Cure, San Diego, CA 92121, USA, 2Department of Oralogy, 3Department of Dermatology, China Japan Union Hospital, Jilin University, Changchun, 130031, China and 4Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697, USA"},{"name":"1 Vaccine Research Institute San Diego, 10835 Road to the Cure, San Diego, CA 92121, USA, 2Department of Oralogy, 3Department of Dermatology, China Japan Union Hospital, Jilin University, Changchun, 130031, China and 4Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697, USA"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023013112122137200_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"66","DOI":"10.1002\/0470857897.ch6","article-title":"On ontologies for biologists: the gene ontology\u2013untangling the web","volume":"247","author":"Ashburner","year":"2002","journal-title":"Novartis Found Symp."},{"key":"2023013112122137200_B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"289","DOI":"10.1111\/j.2517-6161.1995.tb02031.x","article-title":"Controlling the false discovery rate: a practical and powerful approach to multiple testing","volume":"57","author":"Benjamini","year":"1995","journal-title":"J.
