+
[[Image:geworkbench_banner.png]]
  
−
We expect to release geWorkbench on or shortly after July 20, 2012. Between July 5 and the release, we will be updating the tutorials with changes to functionality since release 2.3.0.  Therefore, you may see features mentioned which are not present in release 2.3.0.

'''geWorkbench''' (<u>ge</u>nomics <u>Workbench</u>) is a Java-based open-source platform for integrated genomics.  Using a component architecture it allows individually developed plug-ins to be configured into complex bioinformatic applications.

Projected release date: July 20, 2012

−
* '''Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM)''' - An interface to an R implementation of SAM has been added.  The user can choose an instance of R running on his or her own desktop, or access a remote grid service version with proper authorization.
 
−
* '''Master Regulator Analysis''' - Major updates have been made to the MRA component. 
 
−
** The FET-based method now has the option of performing two FET runs on orthogonal slices of the data to determine the regulatory mode of the candidate master regulators.
 
−
** The graphical result display has been completely updated.  It now can display multiple bar graphs for multiple master regulator candidates, and uses a rank based ordering of the bars rather than the t-statistic value. 
 
−
* '''SkyBase''' - Adds access to the much larger PDB-60 database of homology model structures.  As of 7/18/2012, the databases have:
 
−
** PDB60: 12,264 structures, 9,544,535 models.
 
−
** NESG: 946 structures, 1,943,361 models.
 
−
*  '''Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST whole-transcript''' and '''Human Exon 1.0 ST annotation files''' - support has been added for these Affymtrix annotation files.
 
−
* '''caArray''' - The interface to caArray can now query the newly released caArray version 2.5. However, it is not backward compatible with caArray 2.4 or earlier.
 
−
* '''t-test''' - The t-test is now calculated using the Apache Commons Math Library. P-values may show slight changes due to improved precision.
