Process for importing microarray data from other repositories. Potentially novel CELs are checksummed and associated with a Celsius serial number database identifier (SNID) database accession identifier. Metadata from the source repository (sample accession, dataset accession), as well as metadata from the CEL (checksum, array type), are archived to a relational database. If a CEL not currently present in Celsius is detected, a then a SNID is assigned and the CEL is compressed and archived. Quantification is performed and resulting data are stored in a relational database. GEO, NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus; SN, University of California, Los Angeles DNA Microarray Core Facility.
