From: easyExon – A Java-based GUI tool for processing and visualization of Affymetrix exon array data
Implementation of easyExon. Analysis can start from .CEL files if users choose to download the APT executives when launching easyExon (Step 1-1). Users can also start from normalized profiles produced from Affymetrix Expression Console or Partek™ GS (Step 1–2). After array grouping (Step 2), the input array data are subjected into the feature filtration step (Step 3-1 and/or 3-2). The filtered transcript clusters are annotated through the annotation database (Step 4). The final step (Step 5) comprises of gene visualizations and provides hyperlinks to IGB. The first 4 steps are similar to standard microarray analysis, while Step 5 is specific for exon array.
