“A genuinely intuitive and flexible microarray package which puts other (overcomplicated, overpriced and poorly supported) utilities to shame.”
It facilitates collaboration:
“I’ve been working from Seattle with three research groups
in England, Toronto and Houston. We’ve been able to look at data
with them in real time. That heightened collaboration has been particularly
valuable.”

GeneSifter in either QuickTime or Real Media format.
“I like the simplicity and clarity of the program, as well as quick learning curve. I also think that web sharing of data is a great plus.”
“We routinely use GeneSifter university-wide and it has been very well received. The user-friendly nature of the system, and the fact that researchers can retrieve their data from the core and analyze it anywhere has made everyone's lives easier.”
It accelerates analysis and discovery:
“As a user of gene expression array technology I find Genesifter to be the friendliest and one of the most valuable personal analytical tools I've used to date.”
“So far the GeneSifter program is EXCELLENT! I just did two hours of analysis that took me two months to do with another program.”
“I was amazed at the ease of use, really, after having spent hours on end with other software programs and not even coming close to what I achieved with GeneSifter in less than an hour. Thank you!”
It helps researchers stay current to increase productivity:
“One of our challenges has been to stay current with recent data about genes of interest. Using GeneSifter, what would have taken weeks was accomplished in days."
“One trend I'm particularly fond of is analysis software available over a web browser, such as GeneSifter, so that users are not required to upkeep powerful computer systems and software versions on site."
Its convenience improves efficiency:
“With GeneSifter, the information is at our fingertips. Time-consuming tasks are now routine.”
“I'm enjoying GeneSifter.net very much. Now that I have done some data analysis, I understand why people love it so much: it is nice and simple, but extremely powerful.”
“GeneSifter is great--the convenience of being able to use it at my own computer, instead of a dedicated workstation at the core facility, makes all the difference in terms of flexibility.”
People appreciate that it has been written by scientists:
“Genesifter is far more easy to use than the other commercial packages that I've used”
“GeneSifter is an excellent tool ... perfect for basic researchers to use”
“Anytime I talk with someone working with microarrays or considering it, I make sure to recommend GeneSifter.”
“GeneSifter is definitely the easiest array analysis software I have ever used.”
“I know that if it were not for GeneSifter, the quality and significance of our work and recent publications would not be nearly what it is.”
