caArray logoImage Modified caArray is an open-source, web and programmatically accessible array microarray data management system . caArray guides that supports the annotation and exchange of array data using a federated model of local installations whose results are shareable across the cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG®). caArray furthers translational cancer research through acquisition, dissemination, and aggregation of semantically interoperable array data to support subsequent analysis by tools and services on and off the Grid. As array technology advances and matures, caArray will extend its logical library of assay managementmicroarray data using MAGE-TAB

The software can be downloaded.

Integration with caIntegrator

caIntegrator can extract the genomic data from caArray hosted on either a private server or the NCI site. You can:

  1. Extract the genomic data into caIntegrator.
  2. Integrate the genomic data with the clinical data and imaging data in caIntegrator.
  3. Perform genomic data analysis with the built-in GenePattern Tool within caIntegrator.

The current release of caIntegrator, version 1.4, works with caArray 2.5.

You may use the publicly accessible NCI site. To install a local copy, download a copy of the software.

Integration with GenePattern

...

The caArray 2.3.0 Importer module is compatible with caArray v2.3.x. You may download the caArray2.3.0Importer.

The caArray 2.1.0 Importer module is compatible with caArray v2.1.x and v2.2.0. You may download the caArray2.1.0Importer.

The GenePattern team has recently devleoped caArray2ImportViewer, a visualizer to import data from caArray into GenePattern. It is compatible with caArray 2.4.0.x. Please see the documentation to learn more.

You may also download GenePattern.

Once you've fetched your microarray data from caArray from any of the above versions of the caArrayImporter, you can use that data in any GenePattern module or pipeline that accepts gene expression data. To view compatible modules from within GenePattern you can click the context arrow next to the imported file (the result file of your caArrayImporter job in Recent Jobs) to see which modules can accept this dataset.
