+ <p><span class=subhead>What is BASE?</span>
+ 
+ <p>BASE is a comprehensive database server to manage the massive amounts 
+ of 
+ data generated by microarray analysis.  In short, it manages biomaterial 
+ information, raw data and images, and provides integrated and 
+ "plug-in"-able normalization, data viewing and analysis 
+ tools.  Additionally, for labs that make their own in-house arrays or for 
+ labs that wish to track probe information, the system also has array 
+ production LIMS features which can be integrated with the data 
+ analysis.  The organization and interface of BASE was designed to closely 
+ follow the natural work-flow of the microarray biologist, and is 
+ compatible 
+ with most types of array platforms and datatypes (e.g. cDNA/oligos spotted 
+ on any substrate, Affymetrix, CGH on arrays, etc).
+ 
+ <p>BASE is meant to be installed on a local server in a microarray 
+ laboratory.  The server is accessed via any web browser using personal 
+ login accounts with administrated access levels. With his or her own 
+ account, a user can enter data into the database, group experiments 
+ together into projects, and in a uniform and streamlined fashion, apply 
+ filters, normalizations, and run analyses. Users can choose to share 
+ almost any database item (e.g. samples, data, experiments, files, etc) 
+ with 
+ other users to facilitate online collaboration.
  
+ <p>BASE was designed to cost next-to-nothing to install your own local 
+ server. BASE runs on the free Linux operating system, using the free MySQL 
+ database backend, and uses PHP/Java/Javascript/C++ programming 
+ languages. In addition, the hardware requirements are quite modest,
+ making BASE ideal for users with a limited budget.  BASE is publicly 
+ available for free as open source under the <a
+ 	href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.html#GPL" target=_new1
+ 	>GNU General Public License</a>, and academic and commercial 
+ contribution 
+ 	to the project
+ is encouraged. In particular, we're interested in new data analysis
+ and normalization tools, as well as getting existing ones to work with
+ BASE.  BASE software, source code, manuals, and updates can be downloaded
+ for free.
