CGHAnalyzer: A stand-alone software package for cancer genome analysis using array-based DNA copy number data

Abstract

Summary: This synopsis provides an overview of array-based comparative genomic hybridization data display, abstraction and analysis using CGHAnalyzer, a software suite, designed specifically for this purpose. CGHAnalyzer can be used to simultaneously load copy number data from multiple platforms, query and describe large, heterogeneous datasets and export results. Additionally, CGHAnalyzer employs a host of algorithms for microarray analysis that include hierarchical clustering and class differentiation. © The Author 2005. Published by Oxford University Press.
