Array Analysis Software

Insightful Corporation's ArrayAnalyzer™, and adaptable microarray analysis module for the S-PLUS® data analysis software package, is the result of collaboration with the BioConductor Project, a team of academic researchers in the field of microarray data analysis. S+ArrayAnalyzer integrates the open-source software BioConductor to combine statistical methods for microarray analysis with an intuitive graphical user interface that guides biologists and researchers through the analysis process, including data import, normalization, differential expression testing and annotation. S+ArrayAnalyzer works with many industry standard data types such as Affymetrix and custom cDNA arrays. Key features of the software include an easy-to-use graphical user interface; support for the Affymetrix file format; and state-of-the-art statistical methods. Web Graphlets™ deliver highly interactive tabular and graphical summaries so differentially expressed genes are quickly identified and ranked. Tables and graphs automatically include hyperlinks to on-line databases for annotation. The rate of both false positives and false negatives is reduced, in some tests by over 90%.
