Software uses the US EPA dose-response models from the BMDS software to analyze high dimensional dose-response data, in particular gene expression data. The outputs of the software are gene and gene set level benchmark dose values.
Jason Phillips ([email protected]) was the software engineer on BMDExpress 2 and Dan Svoboda ([email protected]) was the primary design engineer. Scott Auerbach ([email protected]) led the project team.
The software is derivation of efforts by Longlong Yang ([email protected]) that was originally released in 2007. (https://bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-2164-8-387).
BMDExpress 1.0 is available here.
Details on the US EPA BMDS software can be found here.
