Biodiscovery has released version five of its Nexus Copy Number software, a platform-independent and user-friendly application for DNA copy number analyses of microarray derived data.
Nexus Copy Number v5 includes a cloud-based database - called Nexus DB - for secure storage, cross-project queries, and global collaboration.
Among the features in Nexus Copy Number v5 is a Survival Predictive Power tool, which allows scientists to quickly identify aberrant regions of the genome that have a high degree of survival prediction accuracy.
Additionally, Nexus Copy Number v5 can directly import from and export data to the UCSC Genome Browser, simultaneously display probe level data for multiple samples in a single display, support Affymetrix CYCHP files, incorporate methylation data and more.
Nexus Copy Number v5 can integrate and process together, in a single project, data from commercial array platforms such as Agilent, Affymetrix, Illumina, Roche Nimblegen, as well as custom arrays.
The software is applicable to many types of studies from focused projects of a cytogeneticist to large-scale studies.
