Abstract
A biomolecular expression information processing system has procedures and tables that store abundance datasets and hybridization data. The tables also store information identifying a microarray technology type for each hybridization and microarray design information for each microarray technology type. The microarray design information includes technology data that specifies global characteristics of each microarray, and array element data that specifies characteristics of array elements in each microarray instance of the microarray technology type. The procedures process the abundance datasets in accordance with the microarray design information associated with each such abundance dataset. The system stores technology data for multiple distinct microarray technology types and stores array element data for multiple microarray designs of a single technology type.
