Abstract EXALT Expression signature Analysis Tool is a computational system enabling comparisons of microarray data across experimental platforms and different laboratories http exalt . An essential feature of EXALT is a database holding thousands of gene expression signatures extracted from the Gene Expression Omnibus and encoded in a searchable format. This novel approach to performing global comparisons of shared microarray data may have enormous value when coupled directly with a shared data repository. Rationale The application of high-throughput microarray technology for determining global changes in gene expression is an important and revolutionary experimental paradigm that facilitates advances in functional genomics and systems biology. Widespread use of this approach is evident in the rapid growth of microarray datasets stored in public repositories 1 2 . For example .
