Professor, with all due respect, referring to someone's question as
"idiotic" or "trivial" is rudeness and not the way correspondence should be
dealt here or on any other mailing list.
If one thinks that a question has a very simple answer, or trivial, he has
two choices:
1. Ignore it.
2. Answering it seriously even if it is short and simple "google it..."

Hi !
I am a student and a beginner in Bioinformatics field. I want to do a
project wherein I can find gene expressions for specific protein (or protein
function) from the microarray data of various organisms.
The problem is where I can find the microarray data of Yeast and other
organisms?

Please guide me.
thanks in advance.
Tejal

That is a good question!

If you haven't tried already, you could post this question on the 
'general bioinformatics board' - bbb at bioinformatics.org

Other than Google, I can't offer any more information than that!

Good luck!

Dan.

Google "microarray database" and you will get several public
microarray databases as the top hits:
	genome-www5.stanford.edu
	ihome.cuhk.edu.hk/~b400559/arraysoft_public.html
	www.med.yale.edu/microarray/
	nciarray.nci.nih.gov/
	https://genome.unc.edu/

Sometimes I wonder why people ask questions that can be answered in 10
seconds with an obvious Google search.  One would think that a
bioinformatics student would be aware of the value of asking queries
of large databases.

This gets discussed a lot in 'chat rooms' (Internet communication using 
the IRC protocol). Its funny, but once the people on the channel know 
you, they don't seem to mind fielding all kinds of idiotic and trivial 
questions that would be easy to answer using Google.

Sometimes its just nice to talk to people / get an opinion rather that 
interface a 'faceless' search tool with potentially baffling results. 
Sometimes just being told 'use Google' is the only answer that is 
needed, but until 'someone in the field' has simply recommended that you 
Google, the results can be daunting.

Anyway, you might like to try;

irc://irc.freenode.net/#bioinformatics

for some 'face to face' communication (Google for an IRC client to use).

I think the most powerful use of the Internet in the future will be 
'community' - i.e. Google your friends.
