Software Description

Software Description and Availability

ArrayCluster runs on a web-browsing software, Lunascape (Lunascape co ltd.), that
offers us a simply-workable environment. The current version (ArrayCluster 1.0, updated August 2005) is exactable for Windows 98/NT/2000/XP.
We are now proceeding to extend the exactable platforms.

The current version (ArrayCluster 1.0) can perform (1) normalization of microarray data, (2) gene selection (3) the mixed factors factors analysis and can graphically browse result of clustering and other outputs. The source codes are written by FORTRAN language (R.Yoshida).

ArrayCluster and the source codes can be used free of charge.
