http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/bridge.html

Software package to test for differentially expressed genes with microarray data. It can be used with both cDNA microarrays or Affymetrix chip. The packge fits a robust Bayesian hierarchical model for testing for differential expression. Outliers are modeled explicitly using a $t$-distribution. The model includes an exchangeable prior for the variances which allow different variances for the genes but still shrink extreme empirical variances. The model can be used for testing for differentially expressed genes among multiple samples, and can distinguish between the different possible patterns of differential expression when there are three or more samples. Parameter estimation is carried out using a novel version of Markov Chain Monte Carlo that is appropriate when the model puts mass on subspaces of the full parameter space.

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/dexus.html

Software package that identifies differentially expressed genes in RNA-Seq data under all possible study designs such as studies without replicates, without sample groups, and with unknown conditions. It works also for known conditions, for example for RNA-Seq data with two or multiple conditions. RNA-Seq read count data can be provided both by the S4 class Count Data Set and by read count matrices. Differentially expressed transcripts can be visualized by heatmaps, in which unknown conditions, replicates, and samples groups are also indicated. This software is fast since the core algorithm is written in C. For very large data sets, a parallel version of DEXUS is provided in this package. DEXUS is a statistical model that is selected in a Bayesian framework by an EM algorithm. It does not need replicates to detect differentially expressed transcripts, since the replicates (or conditions) are estimated by the EM method for each transcript. The method provides an informative/non-informative value to extract differentially expressed transcripts at a desired significance level or power.

http://cismm.cs.unc.edu/

Biomedical technology research center that develops force technologies applicable over a wide range of biological settings, from the single molecule to the tissue, with integrated systems that orchestrate facile instrument control, multimodal imaging, and analysis through visualization and modeling. The Force Microscope Technologies Core designs instruments in an area of science where there are unusual opportunities: the measurement of forces and the integration with optical microscopy. Force technologies play the obvious role of both measuring events in the sample and modifying the sample during the experiment. It is through the microscope that the force data is correlated with simultaneous 3D optical images. The force technology development includes the magnetic bead technology in the 3D Force Microscope project, Atomic Force Microscopy in the nanoManipulator project, and Control Software to drive the instrumentation. This core is focused on providing the physical capability to perform the experiments and probe structure/property correlations. The Ideal User Interfaces core makes the connection between the user and the instrument, the model building, and the data. This includes control systems that allow the user to move the bead inside the cell culture with a handheld pen and the visualization techniques to view the optical microscope data as a rendered 3D image collocated with the force data. Using data to create, change, and understand a model is the focus of the Advanced Model Fitting and Analysis core. The quantitative reduction of images to structural, shape, and velocity parameters is the goal of Image Analysis. The immediate understanding of correlations across image fields and between data sets in the challenge of Visualization. The power of combining the strength of a computer science graphics group with a microscopy technology group is most evident in the Graphics Hardware Acceleration project, which seeks to harness the speed of graphics processors for microscope data analysis and simulation. The Advanced Technology core pushes the boundaries of the Human Computer Interface through the investigation of improved techniques for the interaction of users with virtual environments, the real time lighting of virtual settings, and the enabling of multi-person collaboration. These techniques are validated and evaluated through physiological measures in virtual environments effectiveness evaluation studies.

http://octresearch.org/

Biomedical technology research center that pioneers and provides access to microscopic imaging instruments for biologic and clinical research. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has evolved over the last two decades to become a standard of care for diagnostic ophthalmic imaging and is poised to make significant impact in the fields of cardiology and gastrointestinal endoscopy. Access to state-of-the-art instrumentation, however, has been limited to a relatively few research laboratories and the optimization of instruments for new biomedical applications has hindered the investigation of new opportunities. A major focus of CBORT will be to cultivate strategic research collaborations and respond to a pressing need for application-specific OCT instrumentation and hardware.

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/vsn.html

Software package that implements a method for normalizing microarray intensities, both between colours within array, and between arrays. The method uses a robust variant of the maximum-likelihood estimator for the stochastic model of microarray data described in the references. The model incorporates data calibration (a.k.a. normalization), a model for the dependence of the variance on the mean intensity, and a variance stabilizing data transformation. Differences between transformed intensities are analogous to normalized log-ratios. However, in contrast to the latter, their variance is independent of the mean, and they are usually more sensitive and specific in detecting differential transcription.
