    Pathway Studio

    Category  Cross-Omics>Pathway Analysis/Tools

    Abstract  Pathway Studio is a pathway analysis suite of interactive
    software for building and displaying the relationships between
    biological molecules and processes. Product includes Medscan (see
    G6G Product Number 20090) and pathways databases. Pathway
    Studio is available in two (2) editions tailored to suit your research
    needs. Pathway Studio Desktop delivers all the tools needed to support
    basic research by individuals or work groups and includes the
    advanced MedScan technology for extending the ResNet database
    (see G6G Product Number 20021). Pathway Studio Enterprise includes
    advanced capability with support for large installations and for
    advanced personal research.

    Pathway Studio features includes:

    Desktop software - 1) Build and visualize pathways; 2) Analyze and
    curate pathways; 3) Import and analyze gene & protein lists; 4) Interpret
    microarray gene expression data; 5) Analyze proteomics and
    metabolomics data.

    MedScan Technology - 1) Search and mine the literature; 2) Extract
    interactions from the literature; 3) Build targeted data content.

    Database Management system - 1) ResNet database; 2) Interrogate
    different species, multiple genomes; 3) Supports public and
    commercial databases.
    Product offers a Web Client and a PC Client for the Pathway Studio
    Enterprise edition.

    Pathway Visualization - 1) Graphical user interface for drawing,
    coloring, viewing, editing and annotation of pathway and relationship
    maps; 2) Automatic layout algorithms revealing pathway organization;
    3) Publication-quality illustrations in all major image file formats; 4)
    Export of pathways as clickable HTML or XML files.

    Pathway Analysis and Curation - 1) Create your own pathways and
    produce publication quality graphics and diagrams; 2) Optimize views
    by filtering, pathway expansion, and protein classification; 3) Build
    pathways for gene lists imported from microarray and other
    experiments; 4) Display specific upstream and downstream events; 5)
    Find interaction paths among molecules, cell objects and processes;
    6) Determine and identify common targets and regulators for a group of
    proteins.

    Molecular Interaction Networks from the Literature - 1) Analyze
    pathways with ResNet database, compiled from PubMed abstracts and
    articles; 2) Access more than 1,000,000 facts of regulation, interaction
    and modification; 3) Validate the facts by clicking on the link to an
    original sentence, abstract or source.

    Pathway Reconstruction Algorithms - 1) "Build Pathway" is an advanced
    search tool with flexible options to navigate the network database and
    build pathways. Choose from multiple algorithms for assembling a
    pathway such as "find only direct interactions", "find shortest paths",
    "find common targets" or "find common regulators"; 2) "Find relevant
    networks" - finds pathways related to a list of molecules; 3) Find
    differentially expressed networks (pathways) for a microarray
    experiment.

    Data Mining and Searches - 1) Find all interacting molecules for a
    protein or other biological entity; 2) Find all networks/pathways for a
    query protein; 3) Use context and field-specific database searches; 4)
    Filter to see only specific types of biological objects to be included in
    your pathway, such as proteins, complexes, small molecules, cellular
    processes etc; 5) Filter to see only specific types of biological
    interactions such as binding interactions, post-translational regulation,
    expression regulation, enzymatic activity, molecular synthesis,
    transport, and others; 6) Review original literature sources for every
    relation within a pathway via direct links to PubMed abstract and exact
    source sentence where each finding is referenced.

    Import and Analysis of Gene & Protein Lists - 1) Import/export gene and
    protein lists; 2) Map gene lists on signaling and metabolic pathways,
    and GO groups; 3) Build and analyze pathways from imported lists; 4)
    Work with protein IDs, names or aliases from various sources -
    Unigene IDs, Accession Numbers, LocusLink, Swiss-Prot, Affymetrix
    GeneChip IDs, Gene Names and Gene Symbols.
    Literature Mining - 1) Use integrated MedScan software to extract
    biological interactions from scientific text; 2) Mine PubMed and build
    pathways from extracted facts; 3) Update pathways using data from
    recent publications.

    Microarray Gene Expression Data Analysis - 1) Import data from all
    popular microarray analysis software packages; 2) Reconstruct
    molecular networks from gene expression and proteomics data; 3)
    View how genes in a pathway are up or down regulated through various
    biological states to identify key regulators or targets of interest.

    Dynamic Modeling - PathwaySolver pathway dynamics analysis module
    of Pathway Studio emulates the dynamics of biological pathways by
    calculating concentrations of proteins and biochemical compounds
    during time course and treatment experiments and conditions -
    PathwaySolver can help you - 1) Predict the effects of knockouts of
    various biological entities; 2) Optimize the product release in metabolic
    pathways; 3) Assess system stability in relationship to changes in
    parameters.

    Supported Data Formats - 1) ResNet Exchange (RNEF) XML and SBML
    formats for molecular network data; 2) Simple tab-delimited format for
    molecular interaction data import from KEGG, BIND, DIP, STKE, GO
    and other leading pathway databases; 3) Flexible tab-delimited format
    for microarray data import; 4) Multiple microarray platforms including
    Affymetrix, Agilent, etc; 5) Both raw and pre-processed microarray data.
    And more.

    Note: Ariadne information extraction, data management and pathway
    analysis products incorporate unique proprietary technologies - A set of
    state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing (NLP) and data mining
    algorithms that are applied in a coherent fashion to automatically
    extract data from literature. The result is databases of genomics &
    proteomics knowledge represented in a formalized structure with the
    focus on how the proteins, cell processes and small molecules interact,
    modify and regulate each other (pathways).
