Summary/Abstract: A relatively new method of biomedical data acquisition – microarray technology and an example of computational capacity possibilities for filtering of microarray data were described. The types of microarrays used and subsequently microarray experiment steps were discussed. Such kind of experiments makes possible finding changes in gene expression in living cells effected by drugs and other xenobiotics to check the cell resistance or sensibility. Some terms necessary for understanding gene expression and its importance were explained. A proposal of the data warehouse solution, developed with special attention for storage and the analysis of microarray data was presented.
