h1. Question: How do I add a new array platform in caIntegrator?

h2. Answer

You can create a study without genomic data, but you cannot add genomic data to a caIntegrator study without a corresponding supported array platform. Currently, caIntegrator only supports following types of platforms: Affymetrix Gene Expression, Affymetrix Copy Number, Agilent Gene Expression, and Agilent Copy Number. Please refer to the [User Guide|caIntegrator User's Guide] for step-by-step instructions on how to create a new platform.

To add a new platform, the array annotation file is required.  For Affymetrix platforms, please refer to [GeWorkbench025|https://wiki.nci.nih.gov/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=42832524] for how to obtain the annotation file.  For other platforms, please refer to the following resources:

* [caArray|https://array.nci.nih.gov/caarray/protected/arrayDesign/list.action]

* [GEO|http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/browse.cgi?view=platforms]

* [Arrayexpress|http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/arrays/browse.html]
