Database

In this tutorial, the export options of a dendrogram, displayed in the Dendrogram panel of the Comparison window is covered. This tutorial is a general tutorial, applicable to any dendrogram created in the Comparison window based on any of the available data types in BIONUMERICS.

When a set of organisms is classified by more than one system, the question arises as to how the classification systems relate to each other. This is what the partition mapping tool is designed for in BIONUMERICS: to compare the outcome of two classification systems and to predict the classification of one technique based upon the results from another technique. In this tutorial some of the features of this partition mapping tool are illustrated using a sample data set.

A range of dendrogram display options are available in BIONUMERICS facilitating the interpretation of a tree. An example is the circular dendrogram visualization option (see the circular dendrogram visualization feature page for more information). In this tutorial some display options will be illustrated in the Comparison window and Advanced cluster analysis window.

This tutorial illustrates how to create some of the most commonly used chart types in a BIONUMERICS database, and how to alter the layout of a chart.

Decision networks in BIONUMERICS should be seen as a construction kit that allows you to build your own automated decision or action work flows, with practically endless possibilities. They can be used to make decisions, predict features, perform queries, fill in fields, create graphs and plots, and much more. In this tutorial you will learn how to create these work flows in a BIONUMERICS database.

In this tutorial you will learn how to import data in a BIONUMERICS database with levels and how to replicate and summarize level-specific information and experimental data to other levels. In this tutorial AFLP data is imported, processed and replicated to parent levels. 

This tutorial illustrates how you can add sample or strain information to your BIONUMERICS database. Adding this information can be done either manually via the keyboard, or with the import routines available in the software. The BIONUMERICS import tools allow information to be imported from external files such as text and Excel files.
