Abstract
A data manager is described for providing a publish database for access by data mining tools and other data processing software applications. The data manager includes a results-for-publication identifier that identifies synthesized probe array results and spotted probe array results for publishing. This identification may be based, at least in part, on user selections. The data in the publish database is organized in accordance with an integrated database schema. The data manager may also include an experimental results registration processor that registers the synthesized probe array results and the spotted probe array results for publishing. This registration may be based, at least in part, on user selections. For example, a user may select certain probe array results from a graphical user interface displaying a tree of files containing probe array results from multiple experiments with synthesized and/or spotted probe arrays.
