So, I wrote a few weeks (months, maybe) ago asking about databases. IoBion and VisXlabs products seem to be options in the "low cost" expression array facility category. However, I've spent the last 3 hours (with numerous unscheduled interruption by little ones) installing/playing with BASE (http://base.thep.lu.se/), which seems to be a reasonable candidate to "play well" with BioConductor. Does anyone have any experience with it? (simple to setup on my Debian system, about 20 commands including install of mysql and php4, etc). Does anyone have experiences with it in a production environment? best, -tony -- A.J. Rossini Rsrch. Asst.
