Title	Summary
TUTORIAL 1: Comparing Two Groups (e.g., treated vs. control)	Statistical methods for group comparison, differentially expressed genes, individual gene analysis using LIB pathway analysis, and gene ontology analysis using GOFFA
TUTORIAL 2: Comparing Multiple Groups	e.g., multiple doses and time points
TUTORIAL 3: VennDiagram	Determine common genes/pathways/functions share by two or three gene lists, apply VennDiagram to external files
TUTORIAL 4: Data Exploring Tools	Principal component analysis, hierarchical cluster analysis, apply both to external files, extensive features
TUTORIAL 5: Assessing Gene Expression Profiles Using Bar Chart	Learn how to: access the barchart from the tool box, the t-test result table, ChipLib and other libraries; use the barchart for cross-experiment comparison; and assign group by color
TUTORIAL 6: Gene List — An Important Concept in ArrayTrack	Create a gene list through data filtering and statistical analysis, Import/export a gene list, conduct normalization, conduct statistical analysis, export a dataset by specifying the gene list
TUTORIAL 7: Normalization Methods	Normalization methods for affymetrix and 7 other platforms including LOWESS
TUTORIAL 8: How to Create Your Own Workspace	Copy, paste, and duplicate an experiment
TUTORIAL 9A: Data Import	Manual import and batch import
TUTORIAL 9B: Data Export	Options of data exporting, export a selected dataset, export multiple experiments and/or platforms
TUTORIAL 10: Other Useful Functions	Correlation matrix, ID converter, scatterplot, combine two tables, split table, pick out the unique ID
TUTORIAL 11 - Basic Scripting for Querying (Raw and Normanlized) Data and Table	Query data from the database tree, query data in tables
TUTORIAL 12 - Using SAM Through ArrayTrack	One and two class survival and time course, multi class survival
TUTORIAL 13: SimpleTox Format	For animal toxicology and toxicogenomics, data are searchable, batch import, contains required, optional and customized fields, not limited to non-clinical study
