Gitools

Gitools is a software solution specifically designed to help you edit genomic data and it provides you with tools to analyze it.

It is important to mention that this program does not need to be installed, thus it is not creating registry entries in your system, but it does require you to have Java installed.

After that, you can open your projects, by selecting files stored on your computer or by specifying their URL. You can also login to your GenomSpace account and import the heatmaps and analysis from there.

Accessing the context menu you can start to edit the genomic data by entering new headers and you can select from multiple options that allow you to customize how the project is displayed.

Using Gitools you can perform multiple analysis of the heatmaps. The enrichment analysis allows you to measure the statistical significance and value concordance of biological conditions for a set of modules or genes. With the correlation analysis, you can compare the patterns of the columns and rows from your heatmap matrix.

Another essential analysis Gitools provides support for, are oncodrive, combinations, overlapping, group comparison and clustering.

This utility enables you to download various modules from multiple sources, like KEGG, GeneOntology, and Biomart, that you can integrate and use in your project.

To sum things up, Gitools, offering multiple analyzing methods, proves to be a handy software tool worth having by specialists working with genomes and that need to easily compare various data.
