Abhishek Tiwari:Spotfire
Spotfire based Analytic Solutions for Life Sciences Informatics
The Spotfire Enterprise Analytics platform offers a radically faster business intelligence experience and is far more adaptable to specific industry and business challenges than traditional alternatives. Spotfire plotform has three major components
- Spotfire Analytical Server
- Spotfire Decision Site
- Spotfire DXP
Spotfire analytical server is a must in a company or organization environment and Spotfire DXP and DecisionSite Clients will be connecting and communicating with the Spotfire Analytical Server for different services and functionalities. One can use the DXP as well as DecisionSite Components without Spotfire Analytical Server also which will support only basic functionalities. Spotfire Analytical Server helps in Deploying and Distributing the Specialized Analytical Services(like Decision Site for Functional Genomics,DecisionSite for Microarray Analysis,DecisionSite for DecisionSite etc), Library Services(Stores the Guides-Analysis Workflow for Domain Specific Problems), Information Services(Provides Access to Different type of Databases and Data Models) and User services(Managing User Accounts and their functionalities).

DecisionSite
DecisionSite For Functional Genomics
Spotfire’s DecisionSite for Functional Genomics enables research groups to quickly find and categorize important genes and gene expression patterns. It includes the ability to connect to gene ontologies(GO Browser). That is, this program makes it easier to go from a cluster of genes that behave similarly in an experiment to understanding where this group of genes is found—in a statistically significant way—in pathways or cellular locations. In addition, this program incorporates visualization capabilities that let users examine the expression and annotation dimensions of their data. DecisionSite also allows researchers to take advantage of an open-source statistical environment called R.
Gene Isolation: DecisionSite for Functional Genomics offers highly interactive visualization and filtering that facilitates the rapid isolation of genes of interest.
Hypothesis Testing: Interactive data analysis tools for normalization, clustering, treatment comparison, profile searching, and PCA analysis in DecisionSite for Functional Genomics provide capabilities to rapidly test many hypotheses.
Data Access: DecisionSite for Functional Genomics provides a wide range of genomic data from flat files, databases, and web sources, enabling unlimited breadth of analysis. DecisionSite for Functional Genomics provides one-click access to Affymetrix databases, Affymetrix CHP files, and additional microarray file formats. DecisionSite also has strong support for generic flat file, ODBC or JDBC data sources.
