MicroArray Explorer (MAExplorer)

Description:
Microarray Explorer (MAExplorer) is a Java-based data-mining facility for cDNA or oligonucleiotide microarray databases. It may be downloaded and run as a stand-alone application on your computer. Its exploratory data analysis environment provides tools for the data-mining of quantitative expression profiles across multiple microarrays.

• Analyzes data (after arrays have been scanned and spots quantified)
• Handles multiple cDNA or oligo array samples with replicate spots
• Manages replicate samples, named condition sets of samples, and lists of condition sets
• Manages named subsets of genes
• Handles intensity or ratio (Cy3/Cy5) quantified array data
• Analyzes data for 2-conditions and N-condition expression profiles including ANOVA on any number of conditions of replicate samples
• Data-filters gene sets by statistics, clustering, gene set membership
• Provides direct data manipulation in graphics, spreadsheets and sample management
• Accesses genomic Web servers from plots and reports
• Converts your data using Cvt2Mae data conversion wizard
• Both MAExplorer and Cvt2Mae are written in Java for portability with download installers making it easy to run on any system
• Users may update these programs, once installed, by downloading just the Java jar file(s) using update commands.
• May be extended using new analytic methods written as either Java plug-ins using the MAEPlugin Open Java API, or R statistics and graphics language plug-ins methods called RLOs using the RtestPlugin tool
