Hi Cheol, Like Todd has indicated, There are 2 main parts of the GeneX system - the web database & analysis server (which runs on unix/Linux) and the Curation Tool to lad teh data into the database which is written in Java and should therefore run on multiple platforms, including win32 systems. GeneX is mostly a database system, so if you just want to cluster a large dataset, it will not be that useful to you - try Bjarte Dysvik's J-Express: http://www.molmine.com or Stanford's xcluster: http://genome-www.stanford.edu/~sherlock/cluster.html if you want a free, high quality clustering application. J-Express is Java and will run on win32 xcluster is an improved unix port of the original cluster program which is win32-native. Both will generate the popular Eisen diagrams. J-Express is the better of the 2 in terms of interfacee design and what techniques you can apply to the data, however since it is a Java program, it is almost by definition a memory catastrophe when dealing with large amounts of data, and you will have to manually pre-allocate RAM to it for large datasets. If you want to try teh analysis features of GeneX, you can upload your data in a simple tab-delimited format to the GeneX site at NCGR to analyse it directly as well. There is a significance testing application and 2 clustering applications (including stanford's xcluster), so you can see if it's worth installing.
