Summary
Functional genomics databases
Primary functional genomics databases (e.g. ArrayExpress, GEO) are those that store and facilitate the sharing of functional genomics data. Secondary (value-added) functional genomics databases (e.g. Expression Atlas) aim to enable the visualisation and interpretation of data stored in the primary databases.
Submitting your own data
When submitting your data you should start as soon as you have the data and provide as much information as possible!
Many funding bodies and and journals now require researchers to submit their data to a public database before a paper can be accepted.
ArrayExpress uses a webform called Annotare for data submission. Annotare guides researchers through the submission process and helps them to ensure that they are providing enough information to be compliant with the MIAME and MINSEQE guidelines.
