 1. Announcements

Release of GenePattern 2.0

GenePattern 2.0 is now available! New features in this release include:
  • Integrated Pipeline and Graphical Environment: You can now create, view and edit pipelines in the easy-to-use Java Client.

  • Automatic Pipeline Creation: In addition to building a pipeline step by step, you can now select a result file and automatically create the analysis pipeline that produced that file.

  • Module Suites: Suites are groups of modules that can be installed, edited, exported, and viewed as a unit. For example, the Clustering suite contains all GenePattern modules that perform clustering, and the Proteomics suite contains all proteomic-related modules. In installing or exporting a suite, you install or export all of the modules in that suite. The Java and Web clients provide a filter-by-suite capability, allowing you to view only those modules in the suites you are interested in. You can create your own suites, or install suites from the GenePattern module repository.

  • Web Client Redesign: The layout of the Web Client has been redesigned to improve access to frequently used operations, previous analyses and result files.
GenePattern 2.0 is available at http://www.genepattern.org/download/. We welcome your feedback and encourage you to send questions and comments to gp-help@broad.mit.edu.

 2. Training and Events

GenePattern will be the subject of two events during MIT's Independent Activities Period (IAP):

  • January 12, 1-2PM, Bringing Research Tools to the Classroom. This workshop, presented by Ivica Ceraj and Violeta Ivanova, will feature a live demonstration of GenePattern as a front end for High Performance Computing (HPC) Beowulf Cluster and discussion of the potential for using computational tools in undergraduate teaching.
    No advance sign up required.


  • January 20, 10AM-1PM, GenePattern Workshop. This workshop, presented by Ted Liefeld and Michael Reich, will teach participants how to do microarray analysis using the features of GenePattern.
