title: TAD: a web interface and database for tissue microarrays.
abstract: Tissue microarrays are increasingly important tools that bring high-throughput technology to traditional pathology laboratories. In many cases, each spot on a tissue microarray is scored by a skilled pathologist and recorded manually. TAD consists of an Active Server Page web interface to a relational database that automates recording scores and linking them with clinical data for future interpretation. TAD is an open source application that can be installed locally.
