A language / data exchange format designed to describe and communicate information about microarray based experiments that is based on XML and can describe microarray designs, microarray manufacturing information, microarray experiment setup and execution information, gene expression data and data analysis results. MAGE-ML has been automatically derived from Microarray Gene Expression Object Model (MAGE-OM), which is developed and described using the Unified Modelling Language (UML) -- a standard language for describing object models. Descriptions using UML have an advantage over direct XML document type definitions (DTDs), in many respects. First they use graphical representation depicting the relationships between different entities in a way which is much easier to follow than DTDs. Second, the UML diagrams are primarily meant for humans, while DTDs are meant for computers. Therefore MAGE-OM should be considered as the primary model, and MAGE-ML will be explained by providing simplified fragments of MAGE-OM, rather then XML DTD or XML Schema. (from the description by Ugis Sarkans) The field of gene expression experiments has several distinct technologies that a standard must include. These include single vs. dual channel experiments, cDNA vs. oligonucleotides. Because of these different technologies and different types of gene expression experiments, it is not expected that all aspects of the standard will be used by all organizations. Given the massive amount of data associated with a single set of experiments, it is felt that Extensible Markup Language (XML) is the best way to describe the data. The use of a Document Type Definition (DTD) allows a well-defined tag set, a vocabulary, to describe the domain of gene expression experiments. It also has the virtue of compressing very well so that files in an XML format compress to ten percent of their original size. XML is now widely accepted as a data exchange format across multiple platforms.

Gene expression database system in compliance with MIAME, which is a standard that the MGED Society has developed for comparing and data produced in microarray experiments at different laboratories worldwide. It serves as a public repository for a wide range of high-throughput experimental data in gene expression research, including microarray-based experiments measuring mRNA, serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE tags), and mass spectrometry proteomic data.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, Documented on March 24, 2014. A resource for gene expression studies, storing highly curated MIAME-compliant studies (i.e. experiments) employing a variety of technologies such as filter arrays, 2-channel microarrays, Affymetrix chips, SAGE, MPSS and RT-PCR. Data were available for querying and downloading based on the MGED ontology, publications or genes. Both public and private studies (the latter viewable only by users having appropriate logins and permissions) were available from this website. Specific details on protocols, biomaterials, study designs, etc., are collected through a user-friendly suite of web annotation forms. Software has been developed to generate MAGE-ML documents to enable easy export of studies stored in RAD to any other database accepting data in this format. RAD is part of a more general Genomics Unified Schema (http://gusdb.org), which includes a richly annotated gene index (http://allgenes.org), thus providing a platform that integrates genomic and transcriptomic data from multiple organisms. NOTE: Due to changes in technology and funding, the RAD website is no longer available. RAD as a schema is still very much active and incorporated in the GUS (Genomics Unified Schema) database system used by CBIL (EuPathDB, Beta Cell Genomics) and others. The schema for RAD can be viewed along with the other GUS namespaces through our Schema Browser.

Society that develop standards for biological research data quality, annotation and exchange. They facilitate the creation and use of software tools that build on these standards and allow researchers to annotate and share their data easily. They promote scientific discovery that is driven by genome wide and other biological research data integration and meta-analysis. Historically, FGED began with a focus on microarrays and gene expression data. However, the scope of FGED now includes data generated using any technology when applied to genome-scale studies of gene expression, binding, modification and other related applications.
