title: Microarray data assembler.
abstract: CONCLUSIONS
  Large volumes of microarray data are generated and deposited in public databases. Most of this data is in the form of tab-delimited text files or Excel spreadsheets. Combining data from several of these files to reanalyze these data sets is time consuming. Microarray Data Assembler is specifically designed to simplify this task. The program can list files and data sources, convert selected text files into Excel files and assemble data across multiple Excel worksheets and workbooks. This program thus makes data assembling easy, saves time and helps avoid manual error.
