  1. CU-DREAM identified genes that were up- and down-regulated.
  2. CU-DREAM validated significantly regulated genes.
  3. CU-DREAM determined if two different diseases had a similar effect on gene regulation.
  4. CU-DREAM identified isoform-changed genes.
  5. CU-DREAM determined if cells shared gene regulation mechanisms.
  6. CU-DREAM can identify common gene regulation pathways even when comparing between two different cell types.
Updates
  1. Feb 17, 2011 CU-DREAM looks for the column "Gene Symbol" in the annotation file. However, the column title could vary. Users can specify the column title (i.e. cu-dream GSE1.xls GSE2.xls "column title"). An alternative is to use "RefSeq Transcript ID" column (e.g. cu-dream GSE1.xls GSE2.xls "RefSeq Transcript ID"). CU-DREAM will count the RefSeqs (NM_) instead of gene symbols.

  2. April 16, 2011 CU-DREAM(X) can intersect a GSE dataset with "a gene set." For instance, a user may find the association between down regulation and genes containing transposable elements (TEs). To do so, use cu-dreamx GSE.xls TE.txt (where TE.txt is a text file, each line is a gene symbol). CU-DREAM(X) can count the RefSeqs (NM_) instead of gene symbols (e.g. cu-dreamx GSE.xls TE.txt "RefSeq Transcript ID").

  3. May 17, 2011 CU-DREAM and CU-DREAM(x) save the output in Excel 97-2003 Workbook (.xls) which limits the maximum row at 2^16 = 65,536. Unfortunately, modern microarrays may contain >100,000 probes (rows). To cope with large arrays, we use the latest Excel Workbook (.xlsx) which can store 2^30 = 1,048,576 rows at the maximum.

  4. October 28, 2011 In the previous versions of CU-DREAM, gene symbols are case sensitive. So I made it "case insensitive."

  5. March 20, 2015 Updates for Microsoft Office 2013 CU-DREAM and CU-DREAMX.
