BRB-ArrayTools
Developed
by: Richard Simon & BRB-ArrayTools Development Team
BRB-ArrayTools is an integrated package for the visualization
and statistical analysis of DNA microarray gene expression data. It was developed
by professional statisticians experienced in the analysis of microarray data
and involved in the development of improved methods for the design and analysis
of microarray based experiments. The array tools package utilizes an Excel
front end. Scientists are familiar with Excel and utilizing Excel as the front
end makes the system portable and not tied to any database. The input data
is assumed to be in the form of Excel spreadsheets describing the expression
values and a spreadsheet providing user-specified phenotypes for the samples
arrayed. The analytic and visualization tools are integrated into Excel as
an add-in. The analytic and visualization tools themselves are developed in
the powerful R statistical system, in C and Fortran programs and in Java applications.
Visual Basic for Applications is the glue that integrates the components and
hides the complexity of the analytic methods from the user. The system incorporates
a variety of powerful analytic and visualization tools developed specifically
for microarray data analysis.
Aimed at existing users of BRB-ArrayTools, this workshop offers an opportunity to interact with professional statisticians to analyze and interpret your data. We will begin with a 2-hour presentation by Dr. Richard Simon on the analysis of microarray data. This will be followed by a day-long workshop where attendees will use BRB-ArrayTools to analyze their data and interact individually with Dr. Simon and the other professional statisticians for advice on study design and data analysis.
