GeneSifter integrates powerful data management tools with analysis options that enable scientists to determine both the statistical and biological significance of microarray data, all in a convenient Web-based system. Support for common platforms (Illumina, Affymetrix, Agilent, Codelink, etc.) as well as custom arrays, makes web-based GeneSifter the most effective and accessible microarray data analysis system available today.

Key Features

 
With the One Click Gene Summary, information from more than a dozen annotation sources can be used to identify targets for further study or to prioritize individual genes based on biological function.
 
GeneSifter provides powerful statistical and analytical algorithms (RMA, PAM, ANOVA, CLARA, Benjamini and Hochberg, etc.) through an intuitive web interface. GeneSifter users have easy access to comparison statistics for identifying differentially expressed genes and cluster analysis for identifying patterns of gene expression and segregating genes based on these patterns.
 
Ontology, pathway and z-score reports automatically summarize the biological significance of a gene list. By examining the gene list as a whole, GeneSifter users can identify broad biological themes of importance.
 
Optimized for compatibility with Affymetrix® GeneChip® Arrays:
Full support for native Affymetrix data files, easy access to RMA and GC-RMA for probe level analysis, GeneChip Array specific analysis features, training and support resources make GeneSifter the fastest route from raw data to biological results for users of Affymetrix® GeneChip® Arrays.
 
Concurrent usage and collaboration: Web-based GeneSifter allows you to view and share your results with a colleague located down the corridor or on another continent.
