Nexus Expression – A new take on microarray gene expression analysis

Nexus Expression is a new addition to our Nexus line of products for microarray data analysis. Nexus Expression is a solution that is computationally very powerful but simple to use by scientists for answering common research questions. Our design objectives for this package have been the same as our very successful Nexus Copy Number product:

• A platform independent solution (support for all commercial platforms and custom arrays)
• Efficient processing on a basic desktop computer (hundreds of high density arrays can be processed in one project)
• A user-friendly interface designed for end-user researchers not informaticians (no programming knowledge needed)

Nexus Expression provides an intuitive and streamlined approach to convert raw signal values into meaningful information by integrating sample phenotypes (e.g., disease stage, survival, age, sex, etc.) with gene annotations (e.g. GO terms). Users can effortlessly navigate large datasets and generate results with a few mouse clicks. For example, in a cancer study, differentially regulated genes in the HER2 positive sub-population as compared to HER2 negative can be identified in one click and the affected biological processes can be identified with another click. Using a sophisticated ANOVA engine under the hood, the user can easily compare between subgroups, cluster samples and genes, view annotations and perform gene enrichment all with single clicks. Nexus Expression is platform agnostic so data from multiple commercial and custom platforms can be loaded, processed, and viewed with ease.
