Biodiscovery has announced the release of Imagene 9.0 for microarray image analysis.
The latest features in the software include improved memory performance for the latest high density arrays, streamlined processing pipeline focused on image quantification and intensity extraction, and a modular design with options to add modules for analysis of gene/MiRNA expression or CGH data.
Imagene 9.0 further strengthens its core function of image analysis and replaces its Genesight-Lite analysis feature with optional external modules for downstream analysis.
'We have revamped the design of version 9.0 to bring to the forefront its principal function of spot quantification by removing internal downstream analysis tools,' said Dr Soheil Shams, president of Biodiscovery.
'Instead, a new modular design allows more choices and flexibility in providing an option to add modules for gene regulation analysis as well as CGH analysis.
'These modules are versions of Biodiscovery's Nexus family of products,' he added.
The gene regulation analysis module is Nexus Expression-Lite designed for analysis of a small number of samples (24).
Nexus Solo, based on Nexus Copy Number, provides an interface and integration with external databases for single sample analysis of CNVs from CGH arrays.
Imagene is available for OS X, Linux and Windows operating systems.
