Abstract

BLoader is a client server application for annotating and loading large amounts of Microarray data into a local installation of the MIAMExpress database. A set of nested spreadsheets is used to collect the required MIAME annotation. Controlled vocabularies are downloaded from MIAMExpress and ArrayExpress databases to guarantee MIAME compliance.
