Ariadne Pathway Studio 5 introduces Enhanced Data Analysis in Desktop, Workgroup and Enterprise Editions
ROCKVILLE, Md. – February 21, 2007 – Ariadne announces the release of Pathway Studio 5.0 software for pathway and molecular interaction analysis. Pathway Studio 5.0 powered by MedScan Technology adds functionality for transcriptomics, metabolomics, and proteomics data interpretation. Key changes include the addition of Signaling Line Pathways for enhanced microarray data analysis. New Ariadne Pathway Studio 5.0 seamlessly integrates Desktop, Workgroup, and Enterprise editions, allowing customers to easily upgrade from one to the other.
Pathway Studio helps to interpret experimental data in the context of pathways, gene regulation networks and protein interaction maps. The software uses the IDs from all popular microarray platforms and public databases to recognize biological entities in an experiment. Pathway Studio takes into account up-, down-, and non-changers in an expression experiment and through interaction network and GO group analyses helps identify the processes in which genes of interest are involved, revealing the biological meaning underlying the expression change.
“In the previous version of Pathway Studio, Desktop users did not have access to the complete mammalian ResNet database. With Pathway Studio 5 we have embedded Microsoft SQL Server so that Pathway Studio Desktop users now get the new ResNet Mammalian 5 Database with the software”, said Dr Stephen Sharp, Director of Product Management. “The added benefit of this”, he added, “is an easy installation of the software and database both for Pathway Studio Desktop and Workgroup editions.”
The ResNet Mammalian 5 database includes more than 1.25 million individual functional relationships for human, rat, and mouse, extracted from the literature using MedScan Technology. All relations are linked to and supported by the original abstracts or articles.
