Finding Array Design Files
No array design information is present with a new caArray installation. This feature provides the flexibility for an organization to upload only the designs they use. This reduces the overhead introduced by loading unnecessary designs - , which are often of significant size (100's of megabytes or more). This does mean, however, that users must find and upload all the necessary array design files into their caArray server. Searching for the array design files could be confusing and time consuming.
Many It is possible, if you are not using a new instance of caArray, that the array design file you need already exists in caArray. For example, many array design files have been uploaded into NCI's caArray by the users, and they can be reused for other experiments on the same server. The array design files, unlike other array data files however, are not portable in caArray. For exampleThat is, they cannot be downloaded from one caArray instance and uploaded to a different caArray instance.
The purpose of this knowledge base entry is to consolidate information on the whereabouts in one convenient place about the location of array design files from different vendors in one convenient place. The list below is not yet complete. Contributions from the caArray user community are highly appreciated. Please post any links or suggestions in the caArray End User Forum.
