Terms and Concepts: Experiment
An Experiment is a logical collection of one or many Arrays and Datasets. Normally an Experiment is related to a microarray experiment performed in the lab. Descriptions can also be added to an Experiment. EMMA uses Experiments as a container for the pupose of grouping other things. If you want to perform analyses of your data, only data comming from the same (EMMA)-Experiment can be analyzed. Nevertheless arrays can be reused, which means, that an Array that is in one Experiment can also added to another Experiment.
Note: Often a single microarray hybridization is also called an 'experiment', but this does not reflect that you normally will use many arrays to investigate a single biological question.
