data that is open source and programmed exclusively in Java. MicroCore provides
a flexible and extensible environment for the interpretation of functional genomics
data through visualization. The first version of the application (downloadable from
the MicroCore website: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/oncology/MicroCore/microcore.htm),
implements two programs—PIMs (protein interaction maps) and MicroExpress—and
 is soon to be followed by an extended version which will also feature a fuzzy
k-means clustering application and a Java-based R plug-in for microarray analysis.
PIMs and MicroExpress provide a simple yet powerful way of graphically relating
large quantities of expression data from multiple experiments to cellular pathways
and biological processes in a statistically meaningful way.</p>
