Minimum information about a microarray experiment (MIAME)—toward standards for microarray data

Minimum Information About a Microarray Experiment (MIAME) – Successes, Failures, Challenges

The Minimum Information About a Microarray Experiment (known as MIAME) guidelines describe information that needs to be provided to enable the interpretation of the results of a microarray-based experiment unambiguously. The adoption of these guidelines has ensured that data supporting published conclusions are made available to researchers in a way that makes these data useful. The MGED Societ...

Standards for microarray data.

ONE OF THE UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES OF scientific publication in peer-reviewed journals has been the requirement that the authors make available the data and materials necessary for a reader to reproduce the experiment or analysis and to determine whether the data support the authors’ conclusions. In many instances, such as DNA sequence or protein structure data, this has evolved into the requirem...

The minimum information required for a glycomics experiment (MIRAGE) project: improving the standards for reporting glycan microarray-based data

MIRAGE (Minimum Information Required for A Glycomics Experiment) is an initiative that was created by experts in the fields of glycobiology, glycoanalytics and glycoinformatics to produce guidelines for reporting results from the diverse types of experiments and analyses used in structural and functional studies of glycans in the scientific literature. As a sequel to the guidelines for sample p...

Microarray Data Standards: An Open Letter

A fundamental principle guiding the publication of scientific results is that the data supporting any scholarly work must be made fully available to the research community in a form that allows the basic conclusions to be evaluated independently. In the context of molecular biology, this has typically meant that authors of papers describing a newly sequenced genome, gene, or protein must deposi...
