Release Announcement – PerkinElmer Signals™ Translational 2.6

June 16, 2020

PerkinElmer Informatics is pleased to announce a new release of Signals Translational considerably enhancing the creation of cohorts of patients for more flexible patients’ stratification, including a PCA/BiPlot App better integrated with native Spotfire functionalities like filtering and allowing to manage and report External data sources (e.g. The Cancer Gene Atlas - TCGA) versions. Importantly, for new end users, the experience of managing TERR and R Apps dependencies has been automated and greatly simplified for Spotfire Analyst users. Finally, the Signals Translational Data Factory adds major capabilities including enhanced retention policy, complete export functionality and SQL data sources compatibility.

The following existing Signals Translational issues were fixed in this release (note that the Entity Group issues were introduced in 2.6 by this novel functionality):
