Recently, the Microarray Gene Expression Data Society (MGED, www.mged.org) was awarded funds from NHGRI/NIH to continue development of MAGE, the MGED Ontology (MO) and related technologies for communication and interpretation of microarray data. This award reflects NIH's substantial commitment of resources to microarray experimentation and the recognition that these data should be preserved. In this editorial I discuss MGED's goals, show how MGED's efforts have helped the microarray community and describe MGED's future efforts in the context of the recent award.
What is MGED Trying to Do?
MGED's efforts are 2-fold. First, it is committed to ensure that microarray experiments are scientifically sound. Second, it is involved in building the infrastructure that will support
How have MIAME, MAGE, and the MO Helped?
What is MGED Doing Now?
