* In the caArray download dialog, arrays are now sorted by name.
 
* The following problems in using the Gene Ontology components were fixed:
 
** Marker sets returned from the Tree Browser was not properly appearing in marker selection pulldown menus (e.g. ARACNe hub marker selection).
 
** After restoring a saved workspace, the reference gene list in the GO analysis component was not populated.
 
** In some cases, the GO Tree Browser returned markers having no EntrezID along with the expected markers.

This release augments the recently released version 2.2.0,  and includes more than 90 additional enhancements and bug fixes, with many focused on network import, display and export, sequence retrieval, and pattern discovery.  It also corrects two omissions from release 2.2.0. 
 
 
 
* Alternate file viewer for large networks that may be too large to view in Cytoscape.
 
* Improvements to display of probeset-level networks.
 
* Networks can now be imported either from ARACNe adjacency matrix files or from SIF files. Networks can be represented by gene symbols, Entrez IDs, probeset names, or other identifiers.
 
* Adds support for use of alternate ontology files (e.g. from the GO website) for gene ontology analysis.
 
* Sequence retrieval for DNA sequences is now based on refSeq records from the UCSC refGene table, and is available for all organisms with genomes supported by UCSC.
 
* The new "Fold Change" analysis component, omitted from release 2.2.0, is included.
 
* A feature to overlay a t-test result onto a Cytoscape network, not functional as released in version 2.2.0, now works correctly.
 
* Bonferroni correction added to the ARACNe GUI.

Overview

geWorkbench (genomics Workbench) 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. At present there are more than 70 available plug-ins supporting the visualization and analysis of gene expression and sequence data. Example use cases include: [show details]
