A few screen images are shown here as a preview of the APEX Tool’s interface.
The APEX Tool’s interface organizes the controls for various processing tasks on separate tabbed panes in the interface. The tool features an integrated help system and a tutorial with a sample data set.
The three primary APEX processing tasks, building training data, generating Oi values, and computing APEX protein quantitation results, are each handled by a separate pane. Each of these processing panels contains an associated help page that can be used as a reference to describe the parameter selections and an overview of the processing steps.
A process log captures all processing activities including input and output files and parameter selections. A utilities pane provides options for combining data for downstream clustering and analysis, a two sample z-test for differential protein expression, and a cross validation routine to assess classifier performance.
