The tutorials shown on this page provide a quick introduction to the most important features of geWorkbench. Additional information can be found in the User Guide and in the Online Help section of the program.

All data sets used in the tutorials are available from the download area of our site.

Getting Started

Obtaining and installing geWorkbench. Requirements.

Basics

A brief introduction to the use of geWorkbench.

Tutorial Data

Data Subsets

Subsets of both markers and arrays can be defined for targeted analysis.

Projects and Data Files

Creating projects, loading microarray data files, merging into one dataset, and saving.

Project Details

Local Data Files

Remote Data Sources (caArray)

Viewing a Microarray Dataset

Survey of geWorkbench visusaliztion tools for microarray data.

ARACNE

Formal method for reverse Engineering - microarray datasets can be analyzed for interactions between genes.

BLAST

geWorkbench can run BLAST jobs on the JCSB cluster.

Cellular Networks KnowledgeBase

Classification

Clustering

Data can be clustered using a fast hierarchical clustering routine, as well as SOMs.

Differential Expression

Several variants of the t-test are available.

Expression Value Distribution

View and manipulate a histogram of the distribution of expression values for each array.

Filtering and Normalizing

geWorkbench provides numerous methods for filtering and normalizing microarray data.

GO Term Enrichment

Not in current releases.

Jmol

Jmol is a molecular structure viewer for viewing PDB format files.

Marker Annotations

Marker annotations can be retrieved, including BioCarta pathway diagrams.

MatrixREDUCE

MINDy

Pattern Discovery

Upstream seqeunce can be analyzed for conserved sequence patterns.

Promoter Analysis

Search a set of sequences against a promoter database.

Sequence Retrieval

Genomic sequences for markers can be retrieved for further analysis.

Coming Soon

Tutorials for a number of components are under development, including:

ANOVA
caGrid v1.3 - How the geWorkbench grid services are set up using caTransfer.
Component Configuration Manager.
Cytoscape_V2_4 - new features allow enchanced interaction with Marker Sets component.
Expression Profiles
genSpace collaborative framework - improvements.
MarkUs
MRA - Master Regulator Analysis
Pudge
Sequence (Viewer)

Gene Pattern components:

PCA (GenePattern) - Analysis and Viewer
K-nearest neighbors (GenePattern)
SVM 3.0 (GenePattern) - Analysis and Viewer - include, we need to develop online help and tutorial (Aris).
WV - Weighted Voting (GenePattern)

Update Scheduled

ARACNe - ARACNe2 component adds Adaptive Partitioning algorithm and Preprocessing mode.
Marker Annotations - adds Cancer Gene Index integration.
