Standardization

Microarray abstracts is difficult to barter due to the abridgement of acclimation in belvedere fabrication, appraisal protocols, and assay methods. This presents an interoperability botheration in bioinformatics. Various grass-roots open-source projects are aggravating to affluence the barter and assay of abstracts produced with non-proprietary chips:

For example, the "Minimum Advice About a Microarray Experiment" (MIAME) account helps ascertain the akin of detail that should abide and is actuality adopted by abounding journals as a claim for the acquiescence of affidavit accumulation microarray results. But MIAME does not call the architecture for the information, so while abounding formats can abutment the MIAME requirements, as of 2007 no architecture permits analysis of complete semantic compliance.

The "MicroArray Affection Ascendancy (MAQC) Project" is actuality conducted by the US Food and Biologic Administration (FDA) to advance standards and affection ascendancy metrics which will eventually acquiesce the use of MicroArray abstracts in biologic discovery, analytic convenance and authoritative decision-making.20

The MGED Society has developed standards for the representation of gene announcement agreement after-effects and accordant annotations.
