VectorBase maintains a repository for all published and about-to-be-published microarray experiments pertaining to invertebrate vector species. All data is processed through a standard normalisation and analysis pipeline, which enables side-by-side comparison of results from a variety of experimental designs. While we check carefully to ensure that the biological interpretations of the published and VectorBase analyses are qualitatively the same, we advise users to refer to the original authors' data and protocols if in any doubt.

Contribute and have your microarray data displayed at VectorBase! Please see the submission guidelines for further details.

All expression data in VectorBase is held in BASE, a microarray data management and analysis system. Guest access to our BASE server is provided here, however this is read-only and no novel analysis can be performed. Contact the VectorBase help desk to ask for an account with more privileges.

Contextual help is provided through mouse-over "tooltips" in many places where you might expect some explanation. Click on the "More info." link in the yellow tooltip popup window to jump to the relevant point in the online user manual for extra helpful information.
