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?
Build pathways from gene expression data

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
