MIA: A UIMA-Based Microarray Image Analysis System

Microarray is an emerging technology that allows biologists to monitor expression levels of thousands of genes in parallel. In this proposal, we report an UIMA based microarray image analysis (MIA) system for solving two existing critical problems in microarray image analysis and data management. MIA system is designed to offer a flexible, scalable, and extensible environment, and to provide accurate microarray analysis results without the need of manually correcting the image processing results.
