  • Publication number: 20060241868
    Abstract: An embodiment of a system for managing files generated from biological probe arrays is described that comprises a first generator that produces a first data file comprising a plurality of raw intensity values, and metadata comprising a first identifier that uniquely identifies the first data file; a second generator that produces a second data file comprising a plurality of processed intensity values each representing a probe feature on a biological probe array, and metadata comprising a second identifier different than the first identifier that uniquely identifies the second data file and a pointer to the first identifier; and a file indexer that stores the metadata for the first and second data files in a cache database.

  • Publication number: 20040126840
    Abstract: A genomic web portal provides an ontological map having nodes and edges. The computer-implemented portal system makes use of information correlating one or more probe-set identifiers with a plurality of ontological categories or terms, thereby generating probe-set identifier association data. The probe-set identifiers are associated with one or more probe sets of one or more probe arrays that may be involved in microarray experiments. The system correlates the probe-set identifier association data with graph traversal data and displays an ontological map based on this correlation.

  • Publication number: 20030120432
    Abstract: A genomic portal system is described that receives user-selected identifiers of potential probes. The system determines verified probes corresponding to the identifiers and generates a custom probe array design. The system then displays the custom probe array design to the user via a graphical user interface and receives a user selection specifying acceptance, modification, or rejection of the design. The system provides the user with the accepted or modified custom probe array. The system may also enable a number of users to share space on a custom probe array. Another optional feature is to enable a number of users to share in ordering portions of a lot of catalog probe arrays to take advantage of economies of scale from lot-size purchases.

  • Publication number: 20020183936
    Abstract: A genomic portal system receives from a user a selection of one or more probe-set identifiers associated with one or more probe sets. The probe-set identifiers may be submitted in a batch file and may include one or more annotation terms. The system also correlates the user-selected probe-set identifiers with one or more biological sequences, and correlates the one or more biological sequences with a first set of probe sets. A network server identifies the first set of probe sets to the user. The genomic portal system may also receive from a user a selection of one or more probe-set identifiers associated with one or more probe sets, wherein the probe-set identifiers include one or more biological sequences. The system periodically update one or more local genomic databases, clusters the one or more biological sequences based on the local genomic databases, and provide the clustered data to a user.

  • Patent number: 5925516
    Abstract: Medicaments, and methods of identifying the same, are described that are useful for treating papillomavirus diseases that have the characteristics of preventing, interfering with, or reversing the binding of the appropriate papillomavirus proteins E1 or E2 to a nucleotide sequence homologous to a nucleotide sequence present in the papillomavirus genome, or of the formation of a complex consisting of papillomavirus proteins E1 and E2, or the binding of the complex to the nucleotide sequence.
