  • Patent number: 6816867
    Abstract: A data mining tool is described that includes a data structure populator that stores one or more first sets of data selected for querying into a first data structure. The tool also has a query builder that builds at least a first query based, at least in part, on one or more query parameters. Also included in the tool is a query manager that interrogates the first data structure with the first query. The one or more first sets of data are based, at least in part, on experiments using both synthesized probe arrays and spotted probe arrays.

  • Patent number: 6804679
    Abstract: A data manager is described for providing a publish database for access by data mining tools and other data processing software applications. The data manager includes a results-for-publication identifier that identifies synthesized probe array results and spotted probe array results for publishing. This identification may be based, at least in part, on user selections. The data in the publish database is organized in accordance with an integrated database schema. The data manager may also include an experimental results registration processor that registers the synthesized probe array results and the spotted probe array results for publishing. This registration may be based, at least in part, on user selections. For example, a user may select certain probe array results from a graphical user interface displaying a tree of files containing probe array results from multiple experiments with synthesized and/or spotted probe arrays.
