1. A computer based method for mining a plurality of experiment information for a pattern, said method comprising:
- collecting information from experiments and chip designs;
selecting from said experiments and said chip designs ones to be mined;
defining at least one of a plurality of groupings for said experiments to be mined;
selecting based upon said at least one of a plurality of groupings, information about said plurality of experiments to be mined, forming a plurality of resulting information, said plurality of resulting information including at least a resulting gene set; and
formatting said plurality of resulting information for viewing by a user.

Abstract
According to the invention, a system and method for organizing expression information in a way that facilitates data mining. A database model is provided which may organize information relating to, e.g., sample preparation, expression analysis of experiment results, and intermediate and final results of mining expression and concentration results. The model is readily translatable into database languages such as SQL and the like. The database model scales to permit mining of expression or concentration information collected from large numbers of samples.
