The geWorkbench platform employs a component repository infrastructure to manage a large collection of pluggable components that can be used to customize the application's graphical user interface. This (ever growing) list of plug-in components covers a wide range of fucntionality for a number of different genomic data modalities.

Annotation

Plugin Status Description
Dataset Annotation Released Free text format box used to annotate data, images and results. Such annotations persist application invocations and can be used as an online notebook.
Dataset History Released Log of data transformations induced by data-modifying operations.
Experiment Information Released Microarray machine parameters used in an experiment run. If available, high-level experiment information (e.g., purpose of of experiment) are also displayed.

Marker Annotations Released Retrieval of gene and pathway information for markers on a microarray. Includes visualization of BioCarta pathway diagrams (screenshot).


Data Management

Plugin Status Description
Marker Component Released Definition of data views consisting of marker subgroups. The views control the amount of data displayed.
Phenotype/Array Component Released Definition of data views consisting of microarray subgroups. The views control the amount of data displayed.
Project Component Released Manages projects and workspaces of the user.


Filtering

Plugin Status Description
Affy Detection Call Released Filtering of measurements based on the value of their "detection call" attribute (Affymetrix data only) .
Deviation Filter Released Filtering of markers with low dynamic range.
Expression Threshold Released Elimination of measurements that fall outside a range of explression values.
2-channel Threshold Released Same as "Expression Threshold" filter but different threshold ranges can be specified for each channel (Genepix data only).
Genepix Flag Filter Released Filtering of measurements based on the value of their "Flags" attribute (Genepix data only).
Missing Value Filter Released Discards all markers that have missing measurements in more than a user specified number N of microarrays.


Network Generation and Networking

Plugin Status Description
ARACNe Released The Algorithm for the Reconstruction of Accurate Cellular Networks analyses large amount of microarray data (typically 100-500 microarrays) to reverse engineer underlying gene regulatory networks (screenshot).
caArray Released Search and download of gene expression data from instances of caArray (NCI microarray database product).
Cancer GEMS Development Interface to the NCI Cancer Genetic Markers of Susceptibility project.
Cellular Networks Knowledge Base Released Queries an in-house repository of locally generated B-cell interaction network data and information from external databases in order to build a network of interactions for selected genes.
Cytoscape Released Visualization of gene regulatory network created in Reverse Engineering using Cytoscape 1.0(screenshot).
