GeneSpring provides powerful, accessible statistical tools for intuitive data analysis and visualization. Designed specifically for the needs of biologists, GeneSpring offers an interactive environment that promotes investigation and enables understanding of Transcriptomics, Metabolomics and Proteomics data within a biological context. NGS data can be aligned and analyzed in Strand NGS (Agilent’s business partner – free trial), and the imported reads, region and entities can be visualized in GeneSpring the Genome Browser, and further correlated with other data types. GeneSpring allows you to quickly and reliably identify targets of interest that are both statistically and biologically meaningful.
