How to Download Geo data-sets

GEO is a public functional genomics data repository supporting MIAME-compliant data submissions. Array- and sequence-based data are accepted. Tools are provided to help users query and download experiments and curated gene expression profiles.



The GEO DataSets database stores original submitter-supplied records (Series, Samples, and Platforms) as well as curated DataSets. See the Overview for information about these different records types and how they are are related to each other.

Curated DataSets form the basis of GEO's advanced data display and analysis features, including tools to identify differences in gene expression levels and cluster heatmaps. GEO Profiles are derived from GEO DataSets. Not all original submitter-supplied records have been assembled into curated DataSets yet.

The GEO DataSets database can be searched using many different attributes including keywords, organism, DataSet type, and authors. Examples and full details about how to search for GEO DataSets of interest are provided in the Querying GEO DataSets and GEO Profiles page.
