Open Source S/R Bio-Informatics Software

ClinStudyWeb is designed to provide a flexible infrastructure for managing patient and assay data from clinical studies. It uses a plugin system for study-specific web forms and arbitrarily complex test classifiers, and supports XML import/export.

DEW is a platform that allows users to explore RNA-Seq data. A web-based Graphical User Interface is included. The analysis proceeds as such: gapped alignments are performed and corrected for length, PCR and fragment bias so that a Fragment Per (effective) Kilobase per Million of reads (FPKM) is estimated as well as the simpler Reads Per Kb per Million of reads (RPKM). When provided with multiple isoforms and in the ‘contextual’ mode, corrections include a expectation maximization algorithm estimates effective expression profiles and a corrected alignment is produced. For each gene the user provides, DEW computes coverage descriptive statistics (RPKM, FKMP and total, mean and median corrected counts), expression profiles (normalized as R/FPKM and trimmed mean of fold change). DEW allows users to explore the data by providing interactive graphs.
