Qlucore Omics Explorer turns the world of bioinformatics software on its head. It’s so easy to use that a biomedical scientist no longer has to turn to an expert in Bioinformatics to explore data sets and verify hypothesis. This is possible since the program is built around visualization and an intuitive user interface with focus on ease of use. The visualizations are combined with powerful statistical methods and mathematical algorithms to enable both data exploration, hypothesis generation as well as statistical tests and easy reporting. With Omics Explorer the user immediately see a visual presentation of all results and does not have to wait. Most actions only require one or two mouse-clicks!
In addition to the highly interactive work model based on dynamic PCA, metrics such as the innovative Projection Score 2 guides also inexperienced users to select correct settings.
The software Qlucore Omics Explorer can be used to analyze data sets such as
- Gene expression: RNA-seq, microarrays, real-time PCR
- MicroRNA: microarrays, real-time PCR
- DNA methylation: microarrays
- Protein expression: microarrays, antibody arrays, 2-D gels
- Proteomics
- Metabolomics data
- Flow cytometry data
- Any multivariate data of size up to 1000 x 100,000
Since 2007, a new version of the software has been released approximately every nine months. At the Qlucore website you can download a free trial version and watch demonstration videos to learn more.
