Abstract

Microarray technology is a high-throughput technique that can simultaneously measure hundreds of thousands of genes' expression levels. Web and cloud computing tools and databases for storage and analysis of microarray data are necessary for biologists to interpret massive data from experiments. This chapter presents the main databases and web and cloud computing tools for microarray data storage and analysis.

Keywords: Cloud computing; Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS); Microarray; Platform as a Service (PaaS); Software as a Service (SaaS); Web computing.
