First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of creating at least one virtual microarray scan image using at least one real microarray scan image, the method comprising:
- providing at least one microarray scan image having an array of feature images;
accessing said at least one microarray scan image;
selecting feature images from said at least one real array of feature images;
singulating said selected feature images from said at least one real microarray scan image; and
rearranging said singulated feature images into at least one virtual microarray.

Abstract
A system and methods for selecting single-features from a microarray scan image of genomic data and rearranging the selected single-features of the microarray into a virtual array having a format or arrangement that is more relevant or informative to the analyst or user than that of the original microarray scan image.

20. A computer readable medium carrying one or more sequences of instructions from a user of a computer system for creating at least one virtual microarray scan image using at least one real microarray scan image, wherein the execution of the one or more sequences of instructions by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of:
-
providing at least one real microarray scan image having an array of feature images;
accessing said at least one real microarray scan image;
selecting feature images of said at least one real microarray scan image;
singulating said selected feature images from said at least one real microarray scan image; and
rearranging said singulated feature images into at least one virtual microarray. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
