title: Microarray data analysis made easy.
abstract: DNA microarrays are valuable tools for analyzing global gene expression. Because of the increasing popularity and the large volume of data produced, tools for facile microarray data analysis are essential. FiRe, a recently introduced computer program, has now solved the seemingly insuperable discrepancy between simplicity and evaluation of DNA microarray data. The program is available as a macro for the popular Microsoft Office Excel software and is user-friendly, interactive, versatile and platform-independent, paving the way for a further push in the evaluation of DNA microarrays.
