March 13, 2008 — Rosetta Biosoftware has announced that the most recent version of its Rosetta Resolver gene expression data analysis system, version 7.1, now supports Affymetrix GeneChip Gene 1.0 ST (Sense Target) arrays.

The gene arrays from Affymetrix enable scientists to query the entire transcriptome&#8212with increased sensitivity for detecting expression levels&#8212for a given species. The Resolver system enables support of the arrays, including import and data analysis within the Resolver system and interaction with third-party programs, such as RMA, gcRMA, and Affymetrix PLIER.

“The Affymetrix gene arrays deliver a more complete and accurate view of a gene’s total transcription activity compared to traditional expression array designs,” claims Greg Fisher, associate director of product marketing, systems and software, at Affymetrix.
