Roche NimbleGen, Inc. has partnered with Software vendors specializing in the development of data analysis tools in the Life Sciences industry. Data generated from Roche NimbleGen’s high-density microarray platform and analyzed by Roche NimbleGen’s NimbleScan software is compatible with a number of downstream analysis software packages developed by these vendors. These solutions from our partners are designed to extend the capabilities of the NimbleGen microarray platform for scientists and researchers in the fields of genomics and genetics.
All sales and support questions regarding these products should be directed to the respective vendors. Roche NimbleGen, Inc. is not responsible for providing any end-user support for these products.
ArrayStar® software from DNASTAR, Inc. has established its reputation as an easy-to-use gene expression analysis software package, and now offers the optional QSeq® application for RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, miRNA, and transcriptome analysis. ArrayStar will import, normalize, and analyze data generated from Roche NimbleGen's Gene Expression arrays (.call, .calls, .txt, .ngd, .pair.txt files). ArrayStar provides powerful visualization tools to help you analyze your microarray data, including Venn diagrams, a scatter plot, heat maps and line graphs for clustering, and a gene ontology tree. Using statistical tools in conjunction with the visualizations allows you to easily isolate gene sets of interest and identify their biological significance.
A trial version of ArrayStar software is provided by DNASTAR free of charge for 15 days to Roche NimbleGen service and delivery customers. You can request a copy of the trial software by going to http://nimblegen.dnastar.com/forms/demo_requestnimble.php
BioDiscovery, Inc.’s Nexus Copy Number software provides an easy-to-use interface and analysis of data from multiple samples generated from Roche NimbleGen’s high-density array CGH/CNV products. Designed for the end-user, Nexus Copy Number quickly and accurately identifies common regions of gain or loss, groups samples by aberration profiles, allows comparisons across subsets, identifies genes and biological processes affected, and integrates gene expression data with copy number changes with a few mouse clicks. Nexus Copy Number also integrates information from known CNVs with your CGH/CNV results and provides direct access to external genome websites such as UCSC, Ensemble, NCBI etc.
