HIDRA logoHIDRA (beta)
[Horizontally Integrated Dataset Relationship Analysis]

HIDRA is a multi-dataset microarray visualization system.  HIDRA is currently under development, as such some features are not yet implemented and there may be bugs in the software.  If you find a problem with HIDRA, please let me know by e-mail:  mhibbs (at) cs.princeton.edu

HIDRA is available as a Java JAR file.  You can download the current version here:
JAR file: HIDRA Jar file

To run HIDRA you will need to have Java version 1.4.2 or greater, which you can download from Sun.
Many operating systems will allow you to double click on the JAR file to launch the application.  However, by default the Java virtual machine allocates a very small amount of memory for execution.  If you wish to load a large number of datasets you will want to increase the amount of available memory by issuing a command such as this:
    java -Xmx512m -jar HIDRA.jar

The flag -Xmx## allows you to specify the amount available memory by replacing the ## with a value such as 256m, 1g, etc.
