Information

Due to its high parallelism, microarray analysis produces comprehensive sets of raw data encompassing various parameters describing the hybridization results for a large number of spotted capture probes. Sophisticated data analysis including various calculation steps is necessary in order to generate reliable results. Only computer programs are able to handle these processes within a reasonable time period.

MADA is a new microarray data analyzing tool, focusing on usability and calculation transparency. It provides a conceptual and well documented step-by-step access to the analyzing process. Embedded in Microsoft® Excel® it is part of a well-known environment, most users are familiar with.

The diagram shows the general program structure and the used methods. Detailed information can be found in the MADA manual.
