Abstract

ArrayFusion annotates conventional CGH results and various types of microarray data from a range of platforms (cDNA, expression, exon, SNP, array-CGH and ChIP-on-chip) and converts them into standard formats which can be visualized in genome browsers (Affymetrix Integrated Genome Browser and GBrowse in the HapMap Project). Converted files can then be imported simultaneously into a single genome browser to benefit a collective interpretation between different array results. ArrayFusion therefore provides a new type of tool facilitating the integration of CGH and array results to provide new experimental directions.
