Summary: GAAS, Gene Array Analyzer Software supports multi-user efficient management and suitable analyses of large amounts of gene expression data across replicated experiments. Its management framework handles input data generated by different technologies. A multi-user environment allows each user to store his/her own data visualization scheme, analysis parameters used, values and formats of the output data. The analysis engine performs: background and spot quality evaluation, data normalization, differential gene expression analyses in single and multiple replica experiments. Results of expression profiles can be interactively navigated through graphical interfaces and stored into output databases.
