Bridge the gap between experiment and hypothesis
As experimental datasets become increasingly large and complex, the necessity to manage and analyze results becomes paramount. Pathway Studio supports a number of statistical algorithms, deciphering rich datasets for multiple profiling technologies alowing you to:
• Find affected proteins and targets in pathways
• Find key regulators of disease mechanisms, stress responses or cell processes
• Identify the most influential transcription factors or signaling pathways from gene expression data
• Discover novel pathways and networks implicated in disease
Find mechanisms underlying expression changes
Interpret gene expression data within the biological context of protein-protein interactions, pathways and pathway components.
Start with either raw gene expression data, or a list of significant genes and use Pathway Studio to find the answers:
- Are there key regulators that explain my expression changes?
- Is the regulation acting coordinately on downstream targets?
- What key biological processes are regulated in my experiment?
- What proteins should I look at? What do they do?
- What kinases and phosphatases modify proteins in my gene list?
Pathway Studio helps you to easily find common regulators for your most differentially expressed genes.
DATA ANALYSIS ALGORITHMS
- Broad institute's Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) finds pathways affected in the experiment
- Ariadne's unique and proprietary Subnetwork Enrichment Analysis helps identify expression targets, binding partners, disease regulators, etc. to create pathways for the most differentially expressed genes using data from the ResNet database
- Fisher Exact Test helps find the most relevant groups affected in the experiment
- Build Dense Expression Networks searches the ResNet database for dense expressed clusters (only available in Pathway Studio Enterprise)
Supported Data Formats
- ResNet Exchange (RNEF) and XML formats for molecular network data
- Simple tab-delimited format for molecular interaction data import from GO and other leading pathway databases
- Flexible tab-delimited format for microarray data import
- Multiple microarray platforms including Affymetrix, Agilent and Illumina
