Hi Chris,

Thanks for your post.
ArrayExpress is now relying on MAGE-TAB format (a evolution of tab2mage
format allowing a bit more flexibility in terms of annotation).
There are currently 2 plugins supporting tab2mage format for BASE2 but
they only work with base246. We are working to bring those plugins in line
with the latest version of base2 api.
We also have an alpha version of a MAGE-TAB importer, which requires more
work. There have been slight changes to the MAGE-TAB specifications,which
we need to implement. The code is not committed to the svn.
Converting the tab2mage to MAGE-TAB can be made with a perl script but of
course having a plugin in BASE would be nice.
We are currently working with Micha Bayer at SCRI and Duccio Cavallieri
group at University of Florence,who are also very keen to have such
functionality.

All the best

Philippe
