Nexus Copy Number - Testimonials

"A year ago, we compared CMA analysis software packages before committing ourselves to a package.  Nexus Copy Number was the only one we found that 1) allows the user to easily and immediately compare array results to what has been reported in the DGV and other databases, 2) is able to present data from hundreds of arrays of different platforms at the same time, 3) lets us add and use our own analysis algorithms, 4) permits us to add numerous tracks so that we can see ALL the information we know about a region at the same time, and 5) lets the user decide what is clinically relevant.  There may be packages out there that do one or two of these things, but this robust user-friendly package is unique.  In addition, the timely and efficient responsiveness of the staff is second to none. In the rare instances that I have been unable to “figure something out” myself, the staff at BioDiscovery were quick, cheerful, informed, and capable of helping me resolve any problem."
Dr. Charles Towne, Athena Diagnostics, Inc.

"We have recently switched our platform to utilize BioDiscovery software in our analysis of microarray data from Affymetrix and Agilent platforms. As a leader in this field I have to congratulate your team on their professional attitude towards their customers. Although both ImaGene and Nexus Copy Number are easy to use and utilize, what impressed me most about BioDiscovery is the support you get with your purchase. Mr. Raja Keshavan, Dr. Shams, and Shalini Verma were not only helpful but rather impressive with their support. This "Personal" support played and will play a major role in our success and I am sure in the success of BioDiscovery. I truly congratulate you on this success. We will soon switch fully to BioDiscovery after extensive testing. In the coming year we will install multi-user licenses for Nexus in our Research Core Facility."
Dr. Fahd Al-Mulla, Associate Professor and Head of Molecular Pathology, Kuwait University.

"We have been using Nexus Copy Number software for the past three years and have found it to be very useful in identifying copy number variant (CNV) data from different array platforms." 
Dr. Charles Lee, Associate Professor and Clinical Cytogeneticist, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School.

"Nexus has made exploration of multiple groups comparisons of large genomic data sets easy and is flexible enough to allow visualization of results from our newly developed algorithms."
Anders Isaksson, Group Leader, and Hanna Göransson Kultima, Bioinformatician, Cancer Pharmacology and  Informatics, Uppsala University

"The data exploration modules in Nexus allow us to design straightforward experiments which help clarify the causal nature of genomic alterations in cancer. This has become an invaluable tool for our collaboration with Bio-informatics specialists."
Dr. Lloyd Trotman, Assistant Professor, Cancer Center, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory

"I feel as though BioDiscovery’s Nexus CGH software puts me back at the bench. It is truly empowering."
Dr. Colin Collins, UC San Francisco

"We have been running several different high density genome-wide arrays in our patient samples, and find that Nexus is the most user-friendly and flexible software we have used to be able to integrate and visualize all of our datasets in one place. We are able to quickly and easily identify key regions of interest and jump straight to relevant statistical tests and bioinformatics tools, making the whole process much more efficient."
Dr. Anjene Addington, Child Psychiatry Branch, NIMH, NIH

"Nexus has provided us with a powerful tool for rapidly analyzing genome copy number profiles from large datasets using a variety of different platforms and the ability to incorporate expression data. These analyses are permitting us to link genomic and transcriptomic changes to clinical phenotypes and sub-populations.”
Dr. Simon Gregory, Assistant Professor at Duke Center for Human Genetics

"Nexus has allowed us to perform group-wise aCGH analysis much faster and more efficiently than had previously been the case. Nexus is also very easy to use, unlike some other analysis programs, making it accessible to people with less computing prowess. I would not hesitate to recommend the use of this software."
Darren Marjenberg, University of Dundee

"Nexus-CGH has allowed us to analyze over 2,000 samples of high-density snp
array data in a relatively quick and efficient manner. In addition, the
output allows us to quickly identify and visualize regions where copy-number
variants are shared within the population."
Dr. Kurt Hetrick, Center for Inherited Disease Research, Johns Hopkins University

"Using NEXUS CGH, my lab has been able to quickly and confidently process large amounts of high-density array CGH data obtained from FFPE tumor samples to identify important chromosomal regions" said Dr. Jeff Gregg head of Molecular Pathology at UC Davis. "NEXUS CGH has allowed us to move from raw data into exploring CNV's and associated genes in a matter of few hours whereas this process might have taken months to complete with other commercial or academic packages.

"We have been using Nexus for the past six months to explore chromosomal loss data in glioblastomas and meningiomas. My lab members have found the tools and visualizations now possible in Nexus Copy Number to greatly accelerate their exploration of the datasets and drill down to interesting individual genes and gain insights that were quite difficult previously.” said Dr. Stanley Nelson, Director, UCLA Site of the NIH Neuroscience Microarray Consortium. “We are excited about the new release which expands and builds on the Nexus platform for greater flexibility and more powerful analyses.  Thanks for creating a very useful product!"
