This procurement is for (1) each of the following: Maintenance Agreement Renewal for 1 year - OmicSoft Array Studio and Array Server Renewal. The Omicsoft software package is fully integrated into the NMC's work flow and it serves as the primary gene expression analysis and data repository system. Currently data from all NMC projects are processed through the analysis pipelines and the analysis results are included in the project reports NMC provide to its customers. Thus, it serves a critical role for NMC to achieve its mission of providing state of the art gene expression program to NIEHS scientific community. The complete Omicsoft software packages consist of two products: Array Studio and Array Server. Array Studio provides the analysis and visualization engine for analyzing gene expression data with an excellent array of analysis tools and capabilities. The framework for gene expression data analysis in Array studio is the comprehensive General Linear Model with ability to perform simple analysis (ANOVA, regression) and complicated analysis (mixed models, covariance analysis, nested factors). Array Server is fully integrated with Array Studio, and it provides an enterprise solution for management of the same data that can be analyzed by Array Studio. Storing data in a central location on the server provides NMC with the means to share data with NIEHS researchers. Moreover it also allows cross-platform or cross-project integration and comparison. Array Server provides a simple interface to do full text search on metadata or annotation and filter data by a variety of numeric metrics such as ratios, fold changes, intensity values. They also provide customizable pipeline processes that integrate with our in-house LIMS system MAPS. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability.
