About Qlucore
Qlucore started as a collaborative research project at Lund University, Sweden, supported by researchers at the Departments of Mathematics and Clinical Genetics, to address the large amount of high-dimensional data generated with microarray gene expression analysis.
It was recognised that an interactive scientific software tool was needed to conceptualise the ideas evolving from the research collaboration.
The basic concept behind the software is to provide a tool that can take full advantage of the most powerful pattern recogniser that exists - the human brain.
The result is a core software engine that lets the user handle and filter data and the same time instantly visualise it in 3D. This will aid the user in identifying hidden structures and patterns.
Over the last four years, efforts have been made to develop a fast core software engine, allowing the user to explore and analyse high-dimensional data sets with the use of a normal PC, interactively and in real time.
The latest version of this software, Qlucore Omics Explorer, offers statistics support, workflows for multiple data types, and a selection of presentation methods. It utilises principal component analysis (PCA) and interactive heat maps and flexible scatter plots.
