Currently, GenomicScape supports only gene expression data from human samples.

Currently, GenomicScape supports only pre-normalized gene expression data from Affymetrix human microarray-platform (U133P2, U133A, U133B).

Expression values from Affymetrix chips relate to fluorescence intensity. Since there are multiple probes for each transcript on the microarray, these intensity values are summarized using various data processing algorithms. In our case, we mostly use MAS5 and GCRMA.

In addition to official gene symbols and aliases, users can search by Affymetrix probe set identifiers and by keyword (ex: phosphatase).

Permalinks are most easily generated based on gene name. For example, for the gene TP53:
