Comments regarding these tools can be submitted to the upcoming Affymetrix forums. Whenever possible, documentation is also provided to help provide guidance on use of the tools. These are the only two methods of help that are provided for these tools.

Affymetrix Power Tools (APT) - 10/5/2006

Affymetrix Power Tools contains C++ code for analyzing Affymetrix data and a set of command line tools built on this source code.

seg-limo (SEGmented LInear MOdel) - 12/7/2006

Download

seg-limo detects regions of differential expression from multiple transcription tiling array data sets at a user specified False Discovery Rate. It outputs the regions together with differential expression estimates in egr format for convenient visualization in the Integrated Genome Browser. It is written in ANSI C++ and has been tested on Intel Linux, both 32 and 64 bit. The source code is being distributed under the GPL license.

Id_compare - 5/5/2006

Terms and Conditions | Download

This is the command-line application for the Copy Number Pipeline which was developed for doing chromosome copy number and loss of heterozygosity analysis based on Affymetrix Mapping 500K arrays. This can also be used for the 100K and 10K arrays.

Id_compare (version 1.0) is a tool for fast calculation of single-marker and multi-marker SNP correlations on a whole-genome scale. It is ideally suited for determination of genetic coverage for whole genome SNP panels and for generating raw SNP correlation data useful for selection of tag SNPs or evaluation of SNP tagging strategies.
