Importing MAGE-ML format microarray data into BioConductor

Bioinformatics. 2004 Dec 12;20(18):3641-2. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bth396. Epub 2004 Jul 15.

Abstract

The microarray gene expression markup language (MAGE-ML) is a widely used XML (eXtensible Markup Language) standard for describing and exchanging information about microarray experiments. It can describe microarray designs, microarray experiment designs, gene expression data and data analysis results. We describe RMAGEML, a new Bioconductor package that provides a link between cDNA microarray data stored in MAGE-ML format and the Bioconductor framework for preprocessing, visualization and analysis of microarray experiments.
