MASQOT-GUI: spot quality assessment for the two-channel microarray platform
نویسندگان
چکیده
UNLABELLED MASQOT-GUI provides an open-source, platform-independent software pipeline for two-channel microarray spot quality control. This includes gridding, segmentation, quantification, quality assessment and data visualization. It hosts a set of independent applications, with interactions between the tools as well as import and export support for external software. The implementation of automated multivariate quality control assessment, which is a unique feature of MASQOT-GUI, is based on the previously documented and evaluated MASQOT methodology. Further abilities of the application are outlined and illustrated. AVAILABILITY MASQOT-GUI is Java-based and licensed under the GNU LGPL. Source code and installation files are available for download at http://masqot-gui.sourceforge.net/

SUMMARY limmaGUI is a graphical user interface (GUI) based on R-Tcl/Tk for the exploration and linear modeling of data from two-color spotted microarray experiments, especially the assessment of differential expression in complex experiments. limmaGUI provides an interface to the statistical methods of the limma package for R, and is itself implemented as an R package. The software provides poi...
متن کاملA novel strategy for microarray quality control using Bayesian networks
MOTIVATION High-throughput microarray technologies enable measurements of the expression levels of thousands of genes in parallel. However, microarray printing, hybridization and washing may create substantial variability in the quality of the data. As erroneous measurements may have a drastic impact on the results by disturbing the normalization schemes and by introducing expression patterns t...
متن کاملAn Open Source Microarray Data Analysis System with GUI: Quintet
We address Quintet, an R-based unified cDNA microarray data analysis system with GUI. Five principal categories of microarray data analysis have been coherently integrated in Quintet: data processing steps such as faulty spot filtering and normalization, data quality assessment (QA), identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), clustering of gene expression profiles and classificati...
