The GeneSieve™ Solutions


The GeneSieve™ Bioanalysis Software Package is designed to enable researchers to find the most appropriate StellARray™ qPCR Arrays or gene lists associated with a particular research area or gene.

Two GeneSieve™ Bioanalysis Software versions exist:

The online versions allow the search for existing StellARary™ qPCR Arrays by using search terms such as subject keyword, disease area, gene ID or gene name (Quick GeneSieve™) or by using gene lists (Batch GeneSieve™).

The advanced internal version of the GeneSieve™ Software is used at Bar Harbor BioTechnology for the design of any, inventoried or custom, StellARray™ qPCR Array. In order to facilitate that StellARrays™ Products include the most relevant genes for specific biological themes, it merges databases containing gene-centric biological information in a new and innovative way. With its powerful search engine capability, GeneSieve™ Software filters or "sieves" thousands of genes for custom population of real-time PCR arrays that have a unifying biological theme, such as a particular disease or pathway of interest. GeneSieve™ Software is composed of several modules that work together to assemble 'constellations' of genes associated with specific biological pathways and processes. Performing text-based mining of the scientific literature, GeneSieve™ Software has overcome many of the current challenges of Named Entity Recognition (NER). It can quickly search the growing list of over 16 million scientific abstracts for genes involved in a related process with a lower false positive rate than other methods. Genes are subsequently ranked by multiple fields including quantity and quality of literature references. Additional gene filter modules include:
  • Canonical signaling pathways
  • Microarray data
  • Gene ontology classifications
  • Downstream targets of transcription factors

GeneSieve™ Software can also be used to sieve genes by chromosome position for performing gene discovery within Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) and mapped mutant loci. Data for GeneSieve™ Software is stored in a simplified way such that multiple modules can be cross-queried simultaneously for increased validation of results.
