DATA ANALYSIS

Procedure for Downloading .tiff image files via password protected accounts

Created in conjunction with the Yale Center for Medical Informatics the Yale Microarray Database (YMD) is a server based system for downloading images to investigators' personal computers under "Simple menu" feature.

Each researcher has been assigned a four letter code and password to view a list of their own stored .tiff files. The files may be downloaded locally and analyzed at any workstation set up with QuantArray and Axon software - see below. Codes and passwords will be distributed via e-mail after scanning. Questions should be directed to Irina at irina.tikhonova@yale.edu, Lesa at lesa.moemeka@yale.edu

Please follow this link to download .tiff files:

Retrieve images at YMD


Procedure for accessing DNA Microarray Analysis Workstations

Two NT workstations in Academic Computing are available on a first-come first-served basis in SHM IE 53 for processing both ScanArray and Axon 4000A datasets. The workstations are available for use 24 hrs per day, 7 days per week. Card key access must be arranged in advance. Help with data analysis is available by advance appointment with Shanti Kunchaparty.

Please contact Shanti Kunchaparty  shanti.kunchaparty@yale.edu for more information.


An NT workstation at 300 George St., Suite 2117 is available
to microarray users Monday - Friday, 9:00 AM to
5:00 PM.

The following software is installed:

  • Agilent: GeneSpring
  • Manual available at work station - PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE
  • Axon Instuments: GenePix Pro5TM: Accepts Axon 16 bit black and white .tif mages and ScanArray .tif images.

Online manual available here


Extended Analysis

Microarray numerical spreadsheet data may be analyzed using a number of different softwares available at Yale or downloadable from the web.
