  Management and analysis of the huge amounts of data produced by microarray experiments
  is becoming one of the major bottlenecks in the utilization of this high-throughput technol-
  ogy. We describe the basic design of a microarray gene expression database to help microar-
  ray users and their informatics teams to set up their information services.We describe two data
  models – a simpler one called ArrayExpressB and the complete model ArrayExpressC,and dis-
  cuss some implementa
