titleNote: This illustration was presented using caArray version 2.3.1.

Depending on the version you use, the screen layouts may be slightly different, however, the basic design and the steps are similar.

...

Log into the caArray Application. Click on the "MANAGE ARRAY DESIGNS" button under "CURATION" on the right side of the page. A new window, "Manage Array Designs", opens. Before uploading the design file, check if your application already has a copy of the design file by the same name. If yes, skip the design file upload and proceed to #Step 2 Experiment Data File Upload. You can use this design file for your experiment. If not, follow Step 1.2 to upload a new design file.

...

On clicking the "Save" button, the screen shown in Fig 1.6 opens. Click "Close window and go to Manage Array Designs". The "Manage Array Designs" re-opens, as shown in Fig 1.1b (c). (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.)

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

. </font> 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 on the "Refresh Status" button (Fig2.10). The initial status will be shown as "In queue" (Fig2.10). When the import is complete, no data will be displayed under the "Manage Data" tab (Fig2.11). Click on the "Imported Data" tab to view imported data file (Fig2.12). If you completed all these steps, Congratulations! You have just successfully created an experiment and deposited your microarray experiment data into the caArray.
