Start ModuleMaster:
You may start ModuleMaster directly here as Java webstart application on almost every operating system. A basic implementation with very basic functionality, compared to the webstart version, is also available in our collection of webservices.


Short description:
ModuleMaster is a novel application for finding cis-regulatory modules (CRMs) in sets of co-expressed genes. The application comes with a newly developed method which not only considers transcription factor binding information but also multivariate functional relationships between regulators and target genes to improve the detection of CRMs. Given only the results of a microarray and a subsequent clustering experiment, the program includes all necessary data and algorithms to perform every step to find CRMs. This workbench possesses an easy-to-use graphical user interface, together with job-processing and command-line options, making ModuleMaster a sophisticated program for large-scale batch processing. The detected CRMs can be visualized and evaluated in various ways, i.e., generating GraphML- and R-based whole regulatory network visualizations or generating SBML files for subsequent analytical processing and dynamic modeling. ModuleMaster is freely available to academics as a webstart application including comprehensive documentation.

You can start the ModuleMaster right away using Java webstart on any operating system.

info

Gene Expression Omnibus: ModuleMaster has been extended to smoothly work with GEO. Dataset can be downloaded and annotated automatically just by the GEO id from within ModuleMaster.

Annotate expression data: We have setted up a convenient webservice to annotate your expression data, for further use with ModuleMaster. Please use this function, before using the expression file in ModuleMaster, in order to achive a better mapping of expression values to transcription factors.
Please select ModuleMaster and Annotate expression data from the webservices menu.
