Since information is the central core of pathway analysis to a large extent reliability in pathway analysis is dependent on the reliability and depth of the information being accessed. Herein is a major difference between Pathway Studio and other available pathway analysis applications. Pathway Studio uniquely connects users to information in the literature as well as to several alternative content sources and databases.

• Pathway Studio comes with Ariadne ResNet Databases
  • ResNet Mammalian
  • ResNet Plant
  • ResNet Targeted
• Pathway Studio can import data from the following data providers (Each provider has their own licensing requirements to be met before you can import):
  • Gene Ontology (GO)
  • HPRD
  • KEGG - Pathway Studio is licensed to import KEGG pathways data. Commercial users of Pathway Studio wishing to use KEGG data will require a commercial-user license from KEGG Pathway Solutions.
• The following databases are also supported by Pathway Studio and can be purchased through Ariadne:
• Jubilant PathArt
• Prolexys HyNet
• Science Signaling
