Genomic tiling arrays have been described in the scientific literature since 2003, yet there is a shortage of user-friendly applications blunt wraps available for their analysis.Tiling Array Analyzer (TiArA) is a software program that provides a user-friendly graphical interface for the background subtraction, normalization, and summarization of data acquired through the Affymetrix tiling array platform.The background signal is empirically measured using a group of nonspecific probes with varying levels of GC Kratom Gummies content and normalization is performed to enforce a common dynamic range.TiArA is implemented as a standalone program for Linux systems and is available as a cross-platform virtual machine that will run under most modern operating systems using virtualization software such as Sun VirtualBox or VMware.The software is available as a Debian package or a virtual appliance at http://purl.
