Microarray Image Analysis Software

Institutions or companies which produce scanning or image analysis software for spotted DNA microarray slides.

• Alpha Innotech Corporation. Produce the AlphaArray microarray reader and associated software.
• Amersham Biosciences. Produce ArrayVision and ArrayStat software.
• Analytic Biostatistics Section, National Institutes of Health. Produce the P-Scan and F-Scan software written in MATLAB for capturing microarray images. Follow the link for "gene expression". Data on spot intensities is passed out to JMP for further statistical analysis.
• Applied Precision. Produce the ArrayWoRX microarray scanner and associated software.
• BioDiscovery. Produce Imagene and GeneSight software.
• BlueGnome. Produce BlueFuse software. A Bayesian model is used to generate a confidence measure for each spot.
• Eisen Lab, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. Produce ScanAlyze image analysis software. Also Cluster and TreeView software for cluster analysis and GMEP software for expression profile analysis.
• Genomic Solutions. Produce the GeneTac scanner and associated software.
• GridGrinder. Corning Incorporated released GridGrinder as open source under the BSD license in 2002.
• GSI Lumonics. Formerly produced QuantArray software now sold to Packard Bioscience.
• Image Analysis Group, CSIRO. Produce Spot software. Spot builds upon more than a decade of image analysis work by Australian CSIRO scientists. At this time we believe it to do the best job of image analysis for microarray slides.
