The National Agricultural Biotechnology Information Center (NABIC) in Korea constructed a web-based database to provide information about gene expression profiles identified in the microorganism, plants, and animals. The deposited archive of NABIC microarray database consists of metadata spreadsheet, matrix spreadsheet, and raw data files. It provides three major functions such as microarray search, viewer and download option of raw data. An information table of five fields (i.e., ownership, basic, series, samples, and protocols) shows the specific description of data for selected DNA microarray.
