SOLUTIONS


Problem: You are at a conference and have just heard a talk relevant to your gene expression data but you are 3000 miles away from your lab.

Solution: GeneSifter is web-based so is accessible from a computer anywhere in the world. Go back to your hotel room, fire up your laptop, log into your GeneSifter account and run a new analysis.

Problem: You sent your microarray data to the bioinformatics core and three months later you get back a short list of biologically meaningless genes.

Solution: Do your own microarray data analysis in days using GeneSifter, designed by research scientists for research scientists.

Problem: Distributing data from the microarray core to clients is overwhelming.

Solution: Upload the raw data directly into clients GeneSifter accounts: no disks, no hassle.

Problem: You have received your raw microarray data on a CD from the core facility. The only available analysis software is on the other side of campus on a difficult to access dedicated computer.

Solution: GeneSifter, being web-based, allows you to do analysis in your laboratory, office, home or anywhere with internet access.

Problem: You have no idea what all the statistical analysis options mean in the analysis software you have access to and the manual is unavailable.

Solution: GeneSifter has limited robust statistical analysis options in well-defined analysis workflows. The user guide is online and the technical support will actually answer the phone and respond to e-mail.

Problem: You are collaborating with a scientist on a different continent and want to share and discuss your data.

Solution: GeneSifter is web-based and allows two concurrent logins, so you can look at the data and results at the same time.
