BioDiscovery Inc. released ImaGene 9.0 for microarray image analysis. The new features include improved memory performance for the latest high density arrays, streamlined processing pipeline focused on image quantification and intensity extraction, and new modular design with options to add modules for analysis of gene/miRNA expression or CGH data.
Continuing in its tradition of providing a versatile and robust image quantification software, 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. 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. 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 user-friendly 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.
