Step 1.4

On clicking the "Save" button, window opens with a message to confirm the file has been uploaded. Click "Close window and go to Manage Array Designs". The "Manage Array Designs" re-opens, listing the newly uploaded file. (Please note that for large array design files, the importing process might take a while. An array design can only be used when it is fully imported.)

Step 2.2

Fill out the form with the Experiment Type (Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma outcome prediction in the example); Experiment Description; Selected Assay Type (here Gene Expression selected); Provider (here Affymetrix); Array Designs (here Hu8800 selected in the example); and Organisim (Homo Sapiens ncibtax in the example). You can use your own description or use the sample text below. Make sure the "Array Designs" field is selected with the right platform (here Hu8800, highlighted in blue). Click the "Save" button.

Sample Text:

Title: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma outcome prediction

Description: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common lymphoid malignancy in adults, is curable in less than 50% of patients. Prognostic models based on pre-treatment characteristics, such as the International Prognostic Index (IPI), are currently used to predict outcome in DLBCL. However, clinical outcome models identify neither the molecular basis of clinical heterogeneity, nor specific therapeutic targets. We analyzed the expression of 6,817 genes in diagnostic tumor specimens from DLBCL patients who received cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine and prednisone (CHOP)-based chemotherapy, and applied a supervised learning prediction method to identify cured versus fatal or refractory disease. The algorithm classified two categories of patients with very different five-year overall survival rates (70% versus 12%). The model also effectively delineated patients within specific IPI risk categories who were likely to be cured or to die of their disease. Genes implicated in DLBCL outcome included some that regulate responses to B-cell-receptor signaling, critical serine/threonine phosphorylation pathways and apoptosis. Our data indicate that supervised learning classification techniques can predict outcome in DLBCL and identify rational targets for intervention. **NOTE: Migrated from caArray 1.x, identifier='gov.nih.nci.ncicb.caarray:Experiment:1015897558868337:1'.

Step 2.8

Depending on the speed of the machine and the size of the data, it may take a few minutes for the sample data to be imported. Check the status of the import by clicking the "Refresh Status" button. The initial status is shown as "In queue". When the import is complete, no data will be displayed under the "Manage Data" tab. Click the "Imported Data" tab to view imported data file. If you have completed all these steps, Congratulations! You have just successfully created an experiment and deposited your microarray experiment data into the caArray.

Step 3 Verification of Data Sharing on caGrid

For those Institutions that register their caArray instance on caGrid, the public data is available to other integrated tools that use the caGrid service. To verify whether your caArray data is shared on caGrid, go to CaArray071 and follow the instructions.
