GEO Array Digest

Welcome to the Geo Array Digest resource, or “GAD” for short!

About

Geo Array Digest (GAD) resource is an automated messaging service that monitors available of public array datasets made available in GEO database. The GAD service was constructed by scheduling queries to the GEO API using the Entrez Programming Utilities software. Automated status updates to the GAD Bot Twitter account are made using the twitteR R package in a snakemake workflow. It is maintained by Sean Maden, PhD (GitHub: metamaden, Twitter: @MadenSean).
