New JMP(R) Software for Genomics Applications Integrates Statistical Analysis, Graphical Exploration of High-Throughput Data; Desktop Analysis Helps Scientists Understand Genetics, Microarray, Proteomics Data
SAS announces the release of JMP(R) Genetics, JMP(R) Microarray, and JMP(R) Proteomics, three specialized genomics products for desktop statistical analysis of DNA, RNA and protein data. The suite of products provides an integrated environment for accessing, subsetting, analyzing and exploring data patterns that can lead to the identification of promising new drugs. The new products use JMP software as a powerful and dynamic data visualization and statistical analysis desktop client to SAS. More than 85 genomics processes employ the JMP Scripting Language (JSL) to launch customizable SAS(R) macro programs in the background, enabling unparalleled data processing and statistical capabilities. The suite of genomics products offers proven Design of Experiments (DOE) tools for creating efficient and unconfounded experiments; a wide range of input processes for popular genomic instrumentation; deep and broad statistical methods that optimize tradeoffs between sensitivity and specificity; and integrated links to many bioinformatics annotation tools and Web sites. JMP Genetics provides a rich class of methods for characterizing genetic variability and evaluating its association with biological phenotypes such as quantitative traits, chemical response or small molecule expression. JMP Microarray offers an extensive and flexible library of statistical capabilities for making transcript abundance discoveries. JMP Proteomics facilitates the analysis of spectral data and the identification of biomarkers associated with biological effects such as disease or adverse events. Early adopters have used the products since October 2005. "JMP is the strongest statistical tool I've seen for exploratory data analysis," said Dr. Jason Osborne, assistant statistics professor at North Carolina State University. "For example, I can select a subset of genes that exhibit significant expression across certain conditions and then examine their behavior in a variety of different graphs and plots to see if they behave similarly." Osborne provides statistical support to life scientists worldwide. With the new genomics products, he can run analyses, save the sequence as scripts, and ship the scripts and data to researchers anywhere. They, in turn, can launch the scripts with one mouse click, rerun the analyses and explore the results on their own or in collaboration with colleagues. JMP Genetics, JMP Microarray, and JMP Proteomics are licensed annually. For more information, visit www.jmp.com. About SAS SAS is the leader in business intelligence software and services.
