ASCENTA 4.0 integrates two generations of gene expression content on the Affymetrix platform into one easy-to-use application, the company said.
It features enhancements such as Gene Ontology view that further assist researchers to comprehend expression profile patterns.
In addition, ASCENTA 4.0 has an enhanced wide screen display format to improve user experience.
In an attempt to make this valuable data available to more researchers and enable further discovery, Gene Logic’s industry standard reference genomic database is currently also offering academic licenses.
Gene Logic plans to add public domain data from GEO database in its upcoming version upgrades of the ASCENTA System slated for release in early 2011.
The improved version and its future version of ASCENTA System will offer researchers an extensive, validated and user-friendly interface to retrieve data, identify patterns and linkages in gene expression.
