- Full Service for SSP plus custom analysis options such as Pathway Analysis or Biomarker Discover
Deliverables
Results of informatics service offerings are provided on a DVD/CD containing raw data, a quality control report, figures, and analysis files where applicable.
For expedited delivery, results can be uploaded to you via secure FTP.
Standard Service Premium (SSP)
“Standard Service” refers to basic data summarization (raw data files, quality control report) that is included in the pricing of Asuragen’s Gene Expression Profiling Services.
As an independent Informatics Service offering, Standard Service Premium (SSP) is available for statistical analysis and graphical representation of your entire experiment. Submit raw data files from your own microarray experiment, or use our Gene Expression Profiling Services.
Standard Service Premium includes:
ANOVA analysis following signal summarization and normalization Publication-quality figures and images, including:
- Hierarchical clustering
- Pair-wise volcano plot(s)
- Box plot(s)
- Principal components analysis (PCA) plot(s)
Full Service
Once normalization and the net of statistical filtering has been applied to your data, our bioinformatics staff can help you extract biological meaning through custom informatics approaches, such as Pathway Analysis or Biomarker Discovery.
- Pathway Analysis using Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA)
- Biomarker Discovery
- Classification
- Sample size/Power analysis
