Cvt2Mae Description

In order to use the MAExplorer data-mining tool on your cDNA or oligo tab-delimited array data, you must convert your data files into the data formats described in Appendix C and Appendix D of the MAExplorer reference manual. Although this maybe done by editing user's data files by hand into the required formats, it is a non-trivial process. Therefore we have developed a "wizard" conversion tool called Cvt2Mae to automate these conversions.Cvt2Mae is a free and open-source Java application aimed to make it easier for researchers to use MAExplorer by helping them convert their data into the MAExplorer format. Cvt2Mae handles commercial chips such as Affymetrix, as well as other standard formats such as GenePix and Scanalyze or one-of-a-kind custom academic chips (). In addition, you may specify the fields of interest for the "Print file" or (GIPO or Gene-In-Plate-Order) file, and the fields containing the quantified data.The Cvt2Mae converts specific chip information you entered into what we call an "Array Layout". This Array Layout file may be edited and saved for use in future conversions and shared with collaborators. Essentially, the Array Layout contains a set of "rules" for converting the user's data. After you have filled out the forms in Cvt2Mae, it will generate the set of converted data files and directories to be used directly with MAExplorer. Detailed instructions on how to install and use the Cvt2Mae utility on your Mac are available HERE.Cvt2Mae is a cross-platform utility capable of running on any operating system that comes with Java support (e.g. Mac OS X, Windows, Linux).
