Abstract

This article describes how the last decade has been characterized by the production of huge amounts of different types of biological data. Following that, a flood of bioinformatics tools have been published. However, many of these tools are commercial, or require computational skills. In addition, not all tools provide intuitive and highly accessible visualization of the results. The authors have developed GEView (Gene Expression View), which is a free, user-friendly tool harboring several existing algorithms and statistical methods for the analysis of high-throughput gene, microRNA or protein expression data. It can be used to perform basic analysis such as quality control, outlier detection, batch correction and differential expression analysis, through a single intuitive graphical user interface. GEView is unique in its simplicity and highly accessible visualization it provides. Together with its basic and intuitive functionality it allows Bio-Medical scientists with no computational skills to independently analyze and visualize high-throughput data produced in their own labs.
