New free online tool provides deeper analysis of microarray data

Scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine have unveiled the Gene Expression Commons, a new software program that provides researchers with a complete picture of gene expression in a sample. Dr. Irving Weissman, lead researcher for this project feel that this new tool will be invaluable in a number of different medical fields, including stem cells, cancer, and regenerative medicine: "it is exciting that a researcher is able to just type in the name of a gene and, within seconds, see the absolute level of the expression of that gene in every cell type in a panel."
