GeneX-Server-1.5.7

October 1, 2002

In January of 2002 GeneX development split to two paths. GeneX 1.x development worked on getting a working schema, fully function data repository, and analysis routines, while GeneX 2.x began work on a MAGE compliant schema. This work on GeneX 1.x has primarily been carried out at the University of Virginia. Various versions have been available to the public since March 2002.

Please feel free to download and install the latest version of GeneX 1.x For more info, scroll to the bottom of the page:

CVS checkout instructions are there. Installation is not as mature as we'd like, but we're happy to answer questions. The primary developer is Tom Laudeman

The lastest release is essentially alpha quality. Nearly all features are present and functioning, but the software has not been fully tested.

Version 1.5.7 has a complete security system (owners, groups, row level permissions), data repository for chip spot data and derived data sets, file management and viewing, analysis modules (functional, but not complete), support for Affymetrix MAS4 and MAS5, experimental condition grouping, and some support for the workflow in the microarray chip center. We also support import of DChip data.

Analysis is mostly via R, and we've created an R wrapper to simplify adding new analyses. We are currently working on a comprehensive analysis system with simplified analysis module installation.

All the interfaces for end users are web based, including curation.

Due to certain system constraints, this is essentially Unix only software. It is based on all open source (or free) software such as Perl and PostreSQL, so it could theoretically be ported to Windows. We have installed and tested GeneX 1.x on Red Hat systems.

We anticipate releasing this to our users by mid October. The new analysis package should be complete around the end of October.
