Product news

DNASTAR, Inc., a leading bioinformatics software company, has released the latest upgrade to its microarray gene expression analysis software. ArrayStar v2.1 brings users new functionality in the areas of normalization, gene classification and file formats that can be used with the software.

In keeping with the company's initial strategy, ArrayStar v2.1 continues to focus on being easy for users to learn how to use and to use for their projects.

ArrayStar was introduced initially to provide users with state-of-the-art visualization and statistical analysis tools to rapidly and easily track changes in gene expression levels and the association of genes during experimental research.

This included the generation of Heat Map and Scatter Plots, gene tables, and a variety of statistical analyses, among many other analytical method provided. Additional ease-of-use and ability to work with microarrays from a variety of sources are key components of the new software.

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.Chem / BioinformaticsCheminformatics and bioinformatics are computational techniques used in chemistry and biology, respectively, for data acquisition, processing and storage. Cheminformatics focuses on compound information, whereas bioinformatics is mainly applied to analysis and modeling of genomics, genetic and sequencing information. Hardware and software is available for data acquisition, analysis, management and storage.Microarray AnalysisMicroarrays, also known as biochips, are used for the detection and analysis of multiple genes, proteins, antibodies, or biomarkers on a single microchip. This can reveal information on protein or gene expression, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), copy number variation (CNV), epigenetics and patient health in clinical diagnostic tests. Discover a range of microarray scanners and prefabricated antibody, protein, RNA and DNA microarrays for your analysis or consider creating your own custom microarrays with a microarray printer.
