NIH Microarray data link made clickable #385

The problem. Under the Biology section, the link for NIH Microarray data is not clickable.

Reason. Apparently, GitHub won't make text a link if the protocol used is ftp. (Your link was ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/geo/DATA/supplementary/series/GSE6532/).

Change I made. Changed the protocol from ftp to https, keeping the rest of the link the same. Now, the link is clickable in the README file, and opens just fine on clicking, thereby fixing the problem.
