MultiExperiment Viewer (MeV) is a versatile microarray data analysis tool. It generates informative and interrelated displays of expression and annotation data from single or multiple experiments. At this final stage of the TM4 pipeline, flexibility and the variety of analysis techniques are critical, as every algorithm has strengths that can be exploited when used on certain datasets and experimental designs. The concept of modularization lends itself particularly well to this system, as novel algorithms and existing codebases from the microarray community can be integrated with the Java based MeV using a well-defined module API. It features bootstrapping, jackknifing, and k-means, modules for viewing metabolic pathways and genomic/chromosomal maps, and wizard that handles links to public databases.
