Description: The NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) represents the
        largest public repository of microarray data. However, finding
        data of interest can be challenging using current tools.
        GEOmetadb is an attempt to make access to the metadata
        associated with samples, platforms, and datasets much more
        feasible. This is accomplished by parsing all the NCBI GEO
        metadata into a SQLite database that can be stored and queried
        locally. GEOmetadb is simply a thin wrapper around the SQLite
        database along with associated documentation. Finally, the
        SQLite database is updated regularly as new data is added to
        GEO and can be downloaded at will for the most up-to-date
        metadata. GEOmetadb paper:
