MAD - Microarray Database

About MAD

The MAD project collects experimental data from gene expression assays, stores the data in a database, and publishes the data on the web. The gene expression laboratory runs microarray analyses using clones covering the entire mouse genome for various experimental "projects." The resulting data from each project provide a view of gene expression. For each gene included in the assay, a numeric value is applied to signal strength. The experimental data are collected and stored in the MAD database. For each project there is a single data file. The data files are in tab-delimited text format for use in spreadsheet applications.

Retrieve MAD Data

View the Retrieve MAD Data page for summary information about published projects and decide which projects may be of interest to you. You then have options to review more detailed information about a project or download the experimental data file for a project.

MAD was developed by Charles Donnelly, Marge May and Gary Churchill of the Computational Biology Resource at The Jackson Laboratory. Please contact our support staff at mem@jax.org or call 207-288-6630 if you have any questions or need assistance with the MAD web site.
