BxArrays™ is a web-based microarray data management and analysis system for researchers who need to organize microarray data efficiently and get data analyzed instantly. BxArrays supports all major microarray platforms, including Affymetrix, Agilent, NimbleGen, Illumina, and more.

BxArrays organizes microarray data into projects for online analysis with predefined or custom procedures. All analysis procedures are optimized and highly automated; even novice users with limited knowledge of microarray data analysis can complete initial analysis quickly. BxArrays integrates with Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and allows instantaneous re-analysis of published array data.


KEY FEATURES
  • Powered by BxAF technology.
  • Supports multiple microarray platforms.
  • Supports custom microarray analysis procedures.
  • No previous knowledge of microarray data analysis is required.
  • Contains advanced data analysis algorithms.
  • Quick analysis with results ready in minutes.
  • Customize analysis procedures to fit special procedures.
  • Allow to download all analysis intermediate/final files and run analysis again locally.
  • No programming is necessary but can also run custom analysis scripts.

Designed with BxAF technology, BxArrays’ excellent data management and sharing functions can manage data including projects, samples, raw array data files, and analysis results. BxArrays comes with three highly automated and seamlessly integrated data analysis programs and a one-step data analysis tool. The array data can be from users’ own experiments (Custom Array Data), GEO raw array data, or GEO Curated DataSets.

  • BxArrays is a novel microarray data analysis and sharing system. Its easy-to-use tools help both novice and experienced users perform initial analysis of their microarray data from the location of data storage. BxArrays tools are also valuable for re-analyzing published microarray data. BxArrays is a useful system for facilities with microarray services and laboratories involved with microarray data analysis.


  • BxArrays contains built-in explorer-like online file management and group-based file sharing tools. While file owners have full control of their files (e.g. create new folders and files, rename or delete existing folders and files), group members can read, copy, and download others’ files, but are not allowed to make changes.

  • BxArrays contains a full-featured project and result search and browse tool. Users can browse project information page by page, update the viewing options, perform advanced searches, and download data in spreadsheet format.


  • Users can search for GEO DataSets, download CEL supplementary files, and create BxArrays projects to analyze previously published data. The sample information is automatically populated in the project based on the subset information stored in GEO GDS records.


  • Use Express Analysis to perform data analysis in minutes. Default analysis methods and parameters can be used directly due to our built-in logic. Experienced users have the option to select methods and enter specific analysis parameters.
    BxArrays presents online directly. The resulting files, including executed scripts and execution logs, are classified, listed, hyper-linked, and compressed in one file for easy downloading.
