Why feature free
applications on UBI's website? Like you, we prefer to only
pay for items when necessary. There are many free
applications that can do tasks that molecular biologists require.
We can save you time by putting these here. The reasons why
people graduate from free to commercial applications
that we market are:
- Scale - Most of the free applications are fine with a few
sequences, results, etc. but the work flow, storage requirements,
administrative needs, become untenable in many cases
after as few as 100 instances (sequences, results).
- Support - Free applications do not provide extensive help
or support resources. At some point, your time becomes
more valuable than what the free application is demanding.
- User Interface - Often free applications do not have a
sophisticated graphical user interface. This makes it
more difficult to learn and use them.
Applications (Free)
- BASE
is a comprehensive free web-based database solution for the
massive amounts of data generated by microarray analysis. It
is released under the GNU General Public License.

Here is a very interesting
article from Modern Drug Discovery that reviews techniques
used to analyze microarray data. The techniques range from
unsupervised methods such as hierarchical clustering and
self-organized maps (SOMs) to supervised methods such as
the "nearest-neighbor" approach, classification
trees, support vector machines (SVMs), and neural
networks. Some of the supervised software packages that
are currently available include: MIT's GeneCluster,
Silicon Genetics' GeneSpring, and BioDiscovery's
GeneSight. Source: Modern
