In the current situation where microarray data in the field of nutritional genomics (nutrigenomics) are accumulating rapidly, there is imminent need for an efficient data infrastructure to support research workflow. We have established a web-based, integrated database of the publications and microarray expression data in the field of nutrigenomics. The registered data include links to external databases such as PubMed of the National Center for Biotechnology Information and public microarray databases that contain Minimum Information About a Microarray Experiment-compliant microarray expression data. Using this database, all data sets created will be effectively utilized and shared with other researchers. This database is built on an open-source database system and is freely accessible via the World Wide Web (http://a-yo5.ch.a.u-tokyo.ac.jp/index.phtml</url).
