CGO: utilizing and integrating gene expression microarray data in clinical research and data management

Bioinformatics. 2002 Feb;18(2):327-8. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/18.2.327.

Abstract

Clinical GeneOrganizer (CGO) is a novel windows-based archiving, organization and data mining software for the integration of gene expression profiling in clinical medicine. The program implements various user-friendly tools and extracts data for further statistical analysis. This software was written for Affymetrix GeneChip *.txt files, but can also be used for any other microarray-derived data. The MS-SQL server version acts as a data mart and links microarray data with clinical parameters of any other existing database and therefore represents a valuable tool for combining gene expression analysis and clinical disease characteristics.
