Editing BioMicroCenter:Software (section)

== Desktop Software ==
Desktop software is available from our '''[http://biomicro-bioanalyzer.mit.edu/ Download Page]'''. Access may be limited to MIT users only. Below is a list of the software available:

* '''Agilent 2100 Expert''' This software package is used to control the [[BioMicroCenter:2100BioAnalyzer|Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer]] and to perform analysis of the output, including microfluidic and electrophoretic assays for RNA, DNA and proteins, as well as two-color flow cytometry. The software can be installed on your desktop to allow users to do additional analyses.

* '''SSH''' This software is what we recommend for UNIX access to rous and for downloading files from our servers

* [http://spotfire.tibco.com/ '''Spotfire'''] is a widely used data analysis and visualization tool. It can handle a number of clustering functions and statistical tests and has very robust graphical capabilities. The BioMicro Center operates a Spotfire server that is available to anyone at MIT. Licenses for Spotfire are available through the BioMicro Center on a yearly basis.

* '''MATLAB''' A mathematical programming language used for mathematical modeling, as well as analyzing and visualizing data. 

*'''[[BioMicroCenter:Wafergen|Wafergen Software]]''' Software for analyzing Wafergen data.

*'''[[BioMicroCenter:RTPCR| Roche LC480]]''' Software for the Roche LightCyclers.

* [http://bmc-tecan.mit.edu/ '''Tecan EvoWare Standard'''] This software is available as part of our robotics service. Identical to the software used on the [[BioMicroCenter:Tecan_Freedom_Evo|Tecan EVO 150s]], the software contains a simulator that can be used to design your robotics experiments at your bench. Note that this software is on a different server.

* '''MacVector''' a comprehensive Macintosh application that provides sequence editing, primer design, internet database searching, protein analysis, sequence confirmation, multiple sequence alignment, phylogenetic reconstruction, coding region analysis, and a wide variety of other functions.

* '''Lasergene v8.0''' A software package that provides sequence assembly including next-generation sequence analysis; simplified primer design, and expanded SNP reporting and management.
