Spotfire DecisionSite Software Speeds Analysis of Affymetrix Data.Business/Technology Editors CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 27, 2001 Spotfire(R), Inc., a leading provider of eAnalytic software and services, today announced that its new Web-based analytic application, Spotfire DecisionSite, can accelerate the analysis of GATC GATC Guanine, Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine (nucleotides that make up DNA) GATC Georgia Appalachian Trail Club GATC Google Analytics Tracking Code (Google) GATC Genesis at the Crossroads (TM) (Genetic Analysis Technology Consortium) data which includes Affymetrix,Inc. GeneChip(R) array data. Affymetrix, a member of the Spotfire Network Partnership Program, collaborated with Spotfire in developing this capability. With Spotfire DecisionSite, genomics researchers now have a powerful platform for the access, visual analysis and mining of data stored in GATC databases generated by Affymetrix' software products, including Microarray See micro array. microarray - A technique for performing many DNA experiments in parallel. Nothing to do with computers. Suite, MicroDB(TM) software and LIMS LIMS Laboratory Information Management System LIMS Library Information Management System LIMS Limb Infrared Monitor of the Stratosphere LIMS Land Information Management System (Canada) LIMS Logistics Information Management System . The Spotfire software also provides integrated access to gene annotations from Affymetrix' Expression Analysis Sequence Information (EASI EASI Equal Access to Software and Information EASI Environmental Alliance for Senior Involvement EASI Energy Automation Systems, Inc. EASI Easy Access for Students and Institutions (student financial assistance) EASI Engineered Air Systems Inc. (TM)) database. "Spotfire DecisionSite software allows our customers to analyze the vast amounts of gene expression data they are generating with Affymetrix technology more quickly and easily," said Nicole Ellis, Software Product Manager at Affymetrix. "Affymetrix microarray systems are the most widely used in genomics research. By configuring our software to the needs of researchers using Affymetrix technology, Spotfire has provided a solution that assists a broad segment of the market in pushing past the genomics data analysis bottleneck A lessening of throughput. It often refers to networks that are overloaded, which is caused by the inability of the hardware and transmission lines to support the traffic. It can also refer to a mismatch inside the computer where slower-speed peripheral buses and devices prevent the CPU ," said Bill Ladd, Director of Bioinformatics Using computers in biological research to analyze or predict the composition of molecules (nucleic acids, proteins, etc.) and model biologic systems. Bioinformatics is most prominent in the Human Genome Project, which has recorded the three billion chemical base pairs that make up the at Spotfire. Spotfire DecisionSite is the only Web-based analytic application that empowers decision makers to work effectively within the data-intensive, fast-paced environments of product discovery, development, manufacturing, distribution and marketing. Genomics researchers use Spotfire software to access, integrate and visually analyze - in a unified analytic environment - gene expression values, annotation 1. (programming, compiler) annotation - Extra information associated with a particular point in a document or program. Annotations may be added either by a compiler or by the programmer. information, and experimental results at the levels of genome genome: see genetics. genome all the genetic content contained within an organism. An organism's genome is made up of molecules of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that form long strands that are tightly wound into chromosomes, which are found in the , cell and organism. They can profile gene expression values, cluster profile patterns using a variety of algorithms, explore profile relationships, discover gene function, validate targets, and share results with colleagues over the corporate intranet. In addition, researchers can create portfolios of interesting genes and proteins, which can be managed and shared across the discovery process. About Spotfire, Inc.
