| Dot Matrix |
Displays the syteny analysis results as a comparison of two genomic regions with detailed annotation for both regions[[.<A - I'm not sure if I should move this to Sequence Analysis]]> |
tbd
|
| Expression Profiles |
Expression of genes across several arrays/ hybridizations. |
TBD
|
| Expression Value Distribution |
A distribution plot of the expression values for one or more microarrays. |
TBD
|
| Marker Annotations |
Supports the retrieval of CGAP annotations for genes within a marker panel. |
TBD
|
| Microarray Panel |
Color-coded levels of gene expression using a color scale varying gradually from red (up-regulated) through black (no change) to green (down-regulated). |
TBD
|
| Scatter Plot |
--. |
TBD
|
| SOM Clusters |
--. |
TBD
|
| Tabular Microarray Panel |
The numerical values of the expression measurements are displayed in a table format; each row represents an individual probe and the columns display the signal and background intensities and intensity ratios. |
TBD

Data Management
| Plugin |
Description |
Compatibility
|
Normalizers
| Plugin |
Description |
Compatibility
|
| Array-based centering |
Subtracts the mean (median) measurement of a microarray from every measurement in that microarray. |
TBD
|
| Marker-based centering |
Subtracts the mean (median) measurement of a marker profile from every measurement in the profile. |
TBD
|
| Mean-variance normalizer |
For every marker profile, the mean measurement of the entire profile is subtracted from each measurement in the profile and the resulting value is divided by the standard deviation.
|
TBD
|
| Missing value calculation |
Replaces every missing value with either the mean value of that marker across all microarrays or with the mean measurement of all markers in the microarray where the missing value is observed.
|
TBD
|
| Threshold Normalizer |
All data points whose value is less than (or greater than) a user-specified minimum (maximum) value are raised (reduced) to that minimum (maximum) value. |
TBD
|
| Quantile |
?. |
TBD
|
| Housekeeping |
The system is able to normalize data based on the values of user selected house-keeping genes. |
TBD
|

Filters
| Plugin |
Description |
Compatibility
|
| Affy detection call |
(Affymetrix data only) Sets all measurements whose detection status is any user-defined combination of A, P or M as missing. |
TBD
|
| Deviation |
Sets all markers whose measurements deviate below a given value across all microarrays as missing. |
?
|
| Expression threshold |
Sets all markers whose measurements are inside (or outside) a user-defined range as missing. |
?
|
| Genepix Flag Filter |
--. |
?
|
| Missing values |
Discards all markers that have “missing” measurements in a user-defined range of microarrays. Another filter must first be applied however, in order to generate the missing values upon which this filter can operate. |
TBD
|
| 2-channel threshold |
(Genepix data only) Defines applicable ranges for each channel, and sets all values for which either channel intensity is inside (or outside) the defined range as missing. |
TBD
