Micro-CS
Micro cs is a Tool for Managing Affymetrix Binary Files.
Micro-cs is a cross-platform tool that automatize the summarization, normalization and annotation of Affymetrix microarray data through a Graphical User Interface.
DNA microarrays are used to measure gene expression levels of genes.
After microarray images are scanned and raw expression data are generated, the typical workflow of analysis is structured on six main phases:
- summarization,
- quality control,
- normalization,
- filtering,
- statistical analysis,
- biological interpretation.
In particular summarization aims to recognize different genes in raw data, associating to different probes (regions of pixels in images) the unique gene that generated them.
