The M^3D database is updated with structured experimental metadata describing all features related to microbial growth, treatment, sampling and RNA preparation. Naming conventions and units are consistently and uniformly applied to all experiments in the database enabling structured queries and sorting of data by experimental features. A soon-to-be released update of the M^3D web interface will enable selection of experiments by experimental features. The current version provides this information as a list only. (Select the "v4" version of the organism databases to view the metadata.)

Our latest article on regulatory network mapping appears in the January issue of PLoS Biology. We assembled 445 Escherichia coli microarrays, developed and applied a the CLR algorithm (a regulatory network mapping algorithm), and validated the predictions against more than 3,000 experimentally determined E. coli interactions. CLR identifies 741 novel regulatory interactions that control amino acid biosynthesis, flagella biosynthesis, osmotic stress response, antibiotic resistance, and iron regulation.

Many Microbes Microarray Database (M^3D) is released. M^3D was developed by Jeremiah Faith, Mike Driscoll and others in the Gardner Laboratory to facilitate the exchange and analysis of high quality, curated, microbial gene expression data. The database allows downloading of raw data (Affymetrix CEL files) or pre-processed data, and web-based data browsing via a small and basic set of visualization tools.
