Samples annotated and validated

STAR provides a powerful search engine across samples, experiments, and attributes from GEO. In all, 1,394,432 digital samples described by 44,621,824 attributes that are drawn from 39,746 experiments described by 158,984 attributes are available.

STAR uses an annotation engine based on a semantic network of crowd-sourced tags that that represent biological annotations. In all, 926 tags have been used to make 41,291 annotations of digital experiments representing 2,909,494 annotations of digital samples.

STAR enables meta-analysis of digitally tagged samples for robust gene signatures using 0 gene probes across 3,344 platforms within GEO. In all 761 meta-analyses of standard fixed and random models have been run with corresponding Forrest plots available.

STAR represents an annotation layer built on open public data provided by GEO. It is provided as an open resource for the scientific community as a tool to derive robust gene signatures from public functional genomics data. Currently 73 users have contributed.
