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.
Contents
Visualization

| Color Mosaic | Released | Heat maps for microarray expression data, organized by phenotypic or gene groupings (screenshot). |
| Dendrogram | Released | Tree-structured diagrams reflecting the results of hierarchical clustering analysis (screenshot). |
| Expression Profiles | Released | Line graph of genes expression profiles across several arrays/ hybridizations (screenshot). |
| Expression Value Distribution | Released | Distribution plot of marker expression values across one or more microarrays. |
| Microarray Viewer | Released | Color-gradient representation of gene expression values (screenshot). |
| Scatter Plot | Released | Pairwise (array vs. array and marker vs. marker) comparison and plotting of expression values (screenshot). |
| SOM Clusters Viewer | Released | Visualization of gene clusters produced by the self-organizing maps analysis (screenshot). |
| Tabular Microarray Viewer | Released | Spreadsheet view of all expression measurement in an experiment, one row per individual marker/probe and one column per microarray (screenshot). |
| CELImageViewer | Released | Visualization of data in Affymetrix CEL files. |
| ImageViewer | Released | Visualization of screenshots saved within geWorkbench (e.g. dendrograms). |
| Jmol | Released | Visualization of 3D protein structures from PDB files. |
| Volcano Plot | Released | Visualize fold-change vs significance (P-value) for t-test results. |
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. |
Normalization
| Plugin | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Array-Based Centering | Released | Subtraction of the mean or median measurement of a microarray from every measurement in that microarray. |
| Housekeeping | Released | Normalization of all measurements in a microarray through division by the average expression value of a (user defined) set of housekeeping genes. |
| Log2 Normalizer | Released | The log2 transformation is applied to all measurements in a microarray, if all values in all microarrays are positive. |
| Marker-Based Centering | Released | Subtraction of the mean or median measurement of a marker profile from every measurement in the profile. |
| Mean-Variance Normalizer | Released | Transformation of expression measurements to standard units: for every marker, the mean measurement of the marker profile (across all microarrays in an experiment) is subtracted from each measurement in the profile and the resulting value is divided by the standard deviation of the profile. |
| Missing Value Calculation | Released | Replacement of missing values with consensus values. |
| Quantile | Released | Expression measurements in each microarray are adjusted so that the distribution of values is the same across all microarrays in an experiment. |
| Threshold Normalizer | Released | Adjustment of values that fall outside a user-specified threshold. |
Filters
| Plugin | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Affy Detection Call | Released | (Affymetrix data only) Filtering of measurements based on the value of their "detection call" attribute. |
| Deviation | 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 | (Genepix data only) Same as "Expression Threshold" filter but different threshold ranges can be specified for each channel. |
| Genepix Flag Filter | Released | (Genepix data only) Filtering of measurements based on the value of their "Flags" attribute. |
Annotation
| Plugin | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Dataset History | Released | Log of data transformations induced by data-modifying operations. |
| 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 "lab notebook". |
