SPIEDw: a searchable platform-independent expression database web tool.

ABSTRACT:

Background

SPIEDw is a web tool designed to facilitate fast and simple quantitative querying of publically available gene expression data. The resource is motivated by the observation that transcriptional profiles can serve as effective means of comparing biological states across a wide set of experiments.

Results

Gene expression data for over 200,000 experiments across multiple species and platforms have been collected into a searchable database. The new resource is a development of the previously published SPIED, which was designed to be downloaded and queried locally with SPIED software. SPIEDw features three significant improvements over the original version. Firstly, the number of experiments covered has been doubled and now includes Agilent and Illumina technologies. S
