title: Microarray retriever: a web-based tool for searching and large scale retrieval of public microarray data.
abstract: The major public microarray repositories Gene Expression Omnibus and ArrayExpress are growing rapidly. This enables meta-analysis studies, in which expression data from multiple individual studies are combined. To facilitate these types of studies, we developed Microarray Retriever for searching and retrieval of data from GEO and ArrayExpress. The tool allows access to the two repositories simultaneously, to search in the repositories using complex queries, to retrieve microarray data for published articles and to download data in one structured archive. The tool is available on the web at: http://www.lgtc.nl/MaRe/
