Analysis
The heart of the software is a library of over 1,900 microbes,
distributed over a number of organism databases. You can replace or
augment this library with other species or strains. The user can
compile an ID File (customized database) from a Data File and
perform identifications using either our database or your own
customized database. The software also provides functionality for
managing Data Files, which is also useful in preparing a Data File for
compilation. These functions include backup (copying), combining,
editing, printing, exporting to other applications (such as Microsoft
Excel® or Microsoft Access).
The software also provides dendrograms and Multi-Dimensional
Scaling diagrams, useful for cluster analysis.
