Clustering Tools
Performs hierarchical clustering and a few other pattern identification workflows on uploaded data or publicly available data from The Cancer Genome Atlas Project or the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia
Cloud-based application supporting analysis, visualization and stratification of large genomic data
Can perform differential expression analysis using RNASeq raw count data, directly search and pull TCGA and GEO gene expression and sample attribute data in addition to private data for analysis, and perform complex cohort stratification using sophisticated regular expression, facet filter, and set operations
Bioconductor and the R Project for Statistical Computing
R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. R provides a wide variety of statistical (linear and nonlinear modelling, classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification, clustering, …) and graphical techniques, and is highly extensible.
Bioconductor runs under R and provides tools for analysis and comprehension of high-dimensional data.
