Biodiscovery has announced the release of Nexus Expression version 2 for gene-expression analysis.
Nexus Expression provides users with an intuitive yet powerful interface for using gene-expression results to associate sample attributes with gene annotations and biological processes.
New features in version 2 make it easier for users to load data and find relevant biological information.
Users can identify genes with expression profiles matching that of a desired gene.
A library of pathways and gene sets is provided to identify, in a single step, the important biological implications of differential gene regulation.
Other features facilitate data loading from array manufacturer's software with a plug-in for Illumina's software, as well as support for CEL files and annotation files from Affymetrix arrays.
Nexus Expression is a platform-independent product and supports all array platforms, including Affymetrix, Agilent, Illumina, Roche Nimblegen and custom arrays.
With single mouse clicks, the user can cluster genes and samples to discover expression patterns, simultaneously compare expression profiles of multiple comparisons alongside gene annotations, display significant genes in affected biological processes and perform enrichment analysis to identify genes that are significantly overrepresented in a population.
With an intuitive interface and rich graphical and numerical outputs that are publication ready, Nexus Expression is suitable for gene or miRNA expression analysis.
