Dear colleague,
<br>
<br>
The Bioinformatics Unit of Institut Curie (Paris, France) is involved
<br>
in the development of algorithms for microarray data analysis,
including transcriptome, CGH and chromatine immunopricipitation
microarrays.
<br>
For example, we have developed the following softwares:
<br>
- GLAD for breakpoints detection in array CGH experiments
<br>
- MAIA for automatic microarray image analysis
<br>
- MANOR for normalisation of microarray data
<br>
- VAMP, a java graphical interface for visualisation and
analysis of CGH array, transcriptome and other molecular profiles.
<br>
<br>
A demo version of VAMP can be run on our Web server for several public
CGH and transcriptome array data sets:<br>

We are developing a Web site and have several publications in
<br>
preparation in the field, and if you are interested we will let you
know
<br>
when they will be available.
