[Celsius-users] Celsius data snapshots

[Allen D. <all...@gm...>]

Hi Alexander,

I noticed you were downloading a lot of data last week.  Not sure if
this is too late for your current round of downloading, but we've just
put up a first Celsius data snapshot.  Basically, we take the RMA
processed data for all arrays, and store them into binary files, one
per arraydesign.  The binary files are indexed.  After that, we apply
some QC methods to remove what look like "bad" arrays.

Then, you can retrieve data from these files using the indexes.  I
have written some simple R and Perl code to do this.  It can operate
on a local file, or can read from the binary files over HTTP.  It's
quite fast -- even accessing the binary files over HTTP is much faster
than querying the current DAS/2 server.

Bret, what is the URL to these data?
