MeV v4.8
November 18, 2011

New CLValid Module
A new module for cluster validation, CLVALID, has been added to MeV’s 
existing clustering tools. CLVALID uses the R package "clValid" to 
compare the relative properties of 10 different clustering methods 
across a several different numbers of clusters. This module aims to help 
choose a method that is most compact, well-separated, connected, and 
stable. It also optionally makes use of bioconductor annotation packages 
to biologically validate the results.

New Annotation Support Files
The MeV team has built a new pipeline for producing the annotation files 
that are used to support modules like EASE and to display chromosomal 
location information and GO terms in the various gene table views 
throughout MeV. The new annotations are collected from Bioconductor 
v2.6, and are more complete than before. The files also include many new 
arrays, such as Affymetrix's Exon (ST) arrays.

For a complete list of supported arrays, please see:
ftp://occams.dfci.harvard.edu/pub/bio/MeV/annotation/bioconductor_2_6/supported_arrays.txt 


In the future, we will be able to easily add new arrays as the 
Bioconductor team releases them, and to easily update these annotations 
when a new Bioconductor version is integrated into MeV. As a rule, MeV 
will provide annotation from the version of Bioconductor that is 
supported by MeV's currently-supported version of R. Currently, that 
version is R v2.11 and Bioconductor v2.6. This coordination is to ensure 
that annotation used internally by R modules is consistent with any 
annotation MeV displays.
