GenePattern in the News
GenePattern 2.0 and its analysis modules have been in the news:
- Drug Discovery News interviews GenePattern Principal Investigator Jill P Mesirov
and Project Leader Michael Reich in an
article published 30 June 2006: http://drugdiscoverynews.com/index.php?newsarticle=872.
- Nature Genetics published an article by Michael Reich, et al. describing GenePattern 2.0:
Reich M, Liefeld T, Gould J, Lerner J, Tamayo P, Mesirov JP (2006), GenePattern 2.0,
Nature Genetics 38 no. 5 (2006): pp500-501 doi:10.1038/ng0506-500
(http://www.nature.com/ng/journal/v38/n5/full/ng0506-500.html).

- Bioinformatics published an article by Joshua Gould, et al. describing the
comparative marker selection modules available in GenePattern:
Gould J, Getz G, Monti S, Reich M and Mesirov JP (2006), Comparative gene marker selection suite,
Bioinformatics 2006 22(15):1924-1925; doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btl196
(http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/22/15/1924?etoc).
Two new modules have been added to the GenePattern module repository:
- HierarchicalClusteringViewer displays the results of HierarchicalClustering (or any files
in Eisen’s TreeView format) as a heat map image annotated using dendograms. From the viewer, you can create new
datasets based on selected features and samples, display annotations using GeneCruiser,
and use color to highlight features named in a feature list file.
- UniquifyLabels makes row and column labels unique. For example, if the
row label foo occurs three times in the
input file, these row labels are changed to foo, foo-1, and foo-2 in the output file.
The following GenePattern modules have been updated:
- HeatMapViewer includes feature descriptions, as well as feature names
on the heat map; uses menus rather than an options panel to control the display,
which provides more room for the heat map image; and correctly displays
gene and microarray feature annotations using GeneCruiser.
- MAGEMLImportViewer accepts the following input file formats: .tar, .tgz, .tar.gz, .zip, or .gz.
- caArrayImportViewer contains updated module documentation.
- ComparativeMarkerSelectionViewer
FeatureSummaryViewer
GeneCruiser
GeneListSignificanceViewer correctly display gene and microarray feature annotations using GeneCruiser.
To install new and updated modules, open the GenePattern Web Client and click install/update tasks under the
Tasks and Pipelines heading in the right column, as described in
Installing and Updating Tasks
in the GenePattern Web Client Guide.
For comprehensive documentation on the modules in the repository, see our
module page.
GenePattern Training Workshops
Our next GenePattern workshop will be held on September 9 at the
Meeting of the Microarray Gene Expression Data Society in
Seattle, Washington.
This popular workshop teaches participants the features of GenePattern, including:
- an intuitive graphical user interface for users at all levels of computational sophistication
- comprehensive repository of clustering, prediction, preprocessing, and visualization modules for analysis of microarray data
- a pipeline environment that allows users to chain tasks together to create and share methodologies
- a task integration environment that allows rapid, code-free integration of new tools
- a programming environment that allows users to access GenePattern modules from the Java, MATLAB, and R programming languages
