[Molvis-list] New tools for transcriptome and array CGH experiments

[Philippe Hupé]

Dear colleague,

The Bioinformatics Unit of Institut Curie (Paris, France) is involved
in the development of algorithms for microarray data analysis, including 
transcriptome, CGH and chromatine immunopricipitation microarrays.
For example, we have developed the following softwares:
       - GLAD for breakpoints detection in array CGH experiments
       - MAIA for automatic microarray image analysis
       - MANOR for normalisation of microarray data
       - VAMP, a java graphical interface for visualisation and analysis 
of CGH array, transcriptome and other molecular profiles.

A demo version of VAMP can be run on our Web server for several public 
CGH and transcriptome array data sets:

VAMP can be  requested at vamp at curie.fr, GLAD at glad at curie.fr and MANOR 
at manor at curie.fr

PS:
The VAMP demo is available at http://bioinfo.curie.fr/vamp (Then click 
on "Launch Vamp" and File->Import)

Two movies give you an overview of VAMP software capabilities.

 We are developing a Web site and have several publications in
 preparation in the field, and if you are interested we will let you know
 when they will be available.
