Developed user guide and online help for Soochika.

Soochika is a comprehensive microarray data mining and management tool, which employs extensive data cleaning, filtering, transformation and normalization techniques. Soochika has three main analysis pipelines- cluster analysis (which includes multiple clustering techniques like K-Means, Hierarchical, Random Walk, Percolation, SOM, Eigen-Value Based clustering, etc), predictive model building (which includes supervised machine learning techniques like SVM, Neural Networks, Decision Tree analysis and linear regression), and differential analysis (including two-way tests, ANOVAs, and other techniques). Soochika also includes an annotation module, which allows the user to pull and organize all relevant information on gene sequences of interest for further analysis. This software is available for both desktop and enterprise wide deployment and runs on Windows, UNIX, Mac OS X and Linux systems.

	Technowrites documented a product which was highly technical in nature. Life science is a very specialized subject. Although we do documentation for varied domains, this one was one of the first projects we did for life science domain.
	We collected information from Strand Life Sciences team members including researchers and technical leaders.
	Our writer’s ability to work varied operating systems proved crucial as the project also involved working on UNIX operating system.
