FlowJo is a software application with an integrated environment for viewing and analyzing flow cytometric data.

Published Date: October 8, 2014: IPA┬« is a powerful web-based knowledge base system designed for biologists.

Published Date: September 4, 2014: GENEVESTIGATOR is an innovative online platform enabling researchers to globally explore public and proprietary expression data for research and clinical applications.

Stephane Plaisance from BITS contributed to a Nature Communications paper of the Nico Callewaert lab published in September 2014 with the title "Genome dynamics of the human embryonic kidney 293 lineage in response to cell biology manipulations."

In collaboration with the Flemisch Genome Consortium and BITS, a Nature Communications paper has been published in September 2014 by Columbia University on 'Sequencing an Ashkenazi reference panel supports population-targeted personal genomics and illuminates Jewish and European origins'.

Published Date: September 4, 2014: GENEVESTIGATOR is an innovative online platform enabling researchers to globally explore public and proprietary expression data for research and clinical applications.

Genevestigator is a gene-expression analysis tool to which scientists at VIB have free access. Recently, Genevestigator has launched a new module in their software, called the 'Cell Lines tool'.

An update of GraphPad Prism, software for scientific graphing, comprehensive curve fitting (nonlinear regression), understandable statistics, and data organization is available.

We started a 1 year trial period for SnapGene, an easy to use molecular biology software package. Some of the things you can do are In-Fusion┬« Cloning, Gibson Assembly┬«, Restriction Cloning, PCR & Mutagenesis design, Agarose Gel Electrophoresis simulation, Primer design. The trial period will stop at the end of June 2015. More information on the SnapGene page.

We started a 3 months trial period for FlowJo, a software application with an integrated environment for viewing and analyzing flow cytometric data. The trial period will stop at the end of September 2014. More information on the FlowJo page.
