title: Design of a system for combined analysis of microarray-based gene expression and FlyBase-derived annotation in Drosophila.
abstract: In recent years, researchers began to utilize both the experimental microarray data and the annotation data from FlyBase to identify Drosophila genes that might encode certain functions. So far, they have to manually combine data from both the microarray experiment and the FlyBase, which is a slow and tedious process. The goal of this research is to construct a flexible relational database system that integrates the microarray data with annotation information from FlyBase.
