Agilent's GeneSpring GX 7.3 also allows researchers to quickly determine if a gene is a member of a pathway, and whether a gene list is enriched with genes that are in a particular pathway
Agilent Technologies has announced upgraded GeneSpring GX 7.3 gene expression informatics software, containing a series of new features designed to enable researchers to more quickly understand the biological relevance of their results.
"GeneSpring GX has become the industry standard in gene expression software," said Jordan Stockton, informatics marketing manager, Agilent Life Sciences and Chemical Analysis.
"We originally built this software to give users the ability to understand the results of statistical analysis in a biological context, and this latest release extends that functionality to a new class of biologists, clinicians and research directors." Researchers gain faster access to and visualization of biological relevance through the software's full-gene ontology information and browser.
Agilent's GeneSpring GX 7.3 also allows researchers to quickly determine if a gene is a member of a pathway, and whether a gene list is enriched with genes that are in a particular pathway.
The new release also provides higher confidence in the results through more significant clustering and trees; bootstrapping and Complete, Average and Single Linkage; new Volcano and Box Plot visualizations; and improved error model for two-colour data.
GeneSpring GX 7.3 is compatible with all major commercial gene expression platforms, including Agilent's recently introduced dual-mode one-colour/two-colour platform.
