Our most recent development project is another Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center informatics effort. We have developed a web-based Tissue Microarray data management and mining application (TMAtrix). TMA provides a means for rapid, very large-scale molecular analysis of thousands of tissue specimens with thousands of probes for various DNA, RNA and protein targets. TMA technology has only recently emerged, and many research units are struggling with the problems of managing the vast amounts of data associated with tissue arrays. TMAtrix is an open source solution that has been especially designed and engineered to address the requirements of a core unit that conducts TMA construction and analysis. We decided to develop TMAtrix using industry standard Java technology to make it easy for others to adopt this software.
