ArrayTrack is a multi-purpose bioinformatics tool primarily used for microarray data management, analysis, and interpretation. ArrayTrack was developed to support in-house filter array research for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2001 and was made freely available to the public as an integrated research tool for microarrays in 2003. It is regularly updated by the National Center for Toxicological Research.
ArrayTrack is composed of three major components: a database containing experimental data, a suite of analysis and visualization tools, and a collection of libraries hosting genomics-related annotation data. It is run on the client's computer using a Java-based interface that connects to an Oracle database hosted by the FDA. ArrayTrack is directly integrated with a variety of other bioinformatics software, such as pathway analysis tools GeneGo MetaCore[1] and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis[2].
