is Chosen as the Exclusive Partner for Pathway Analysis in the Affymetrix University Gene Expression Training Program
ROCKVILLE, MD, July 27, 2011 – Ariadne, a leader in bioinformatics software and knowledge integration, announces today that Affymetrix, a pioneer of the genomic revolution, has chosen Ariadne as an exclusive partner of the Affymetrix University Gene Expression Training Program. Ariadne will provide instruction on pathway analysis during each of the three-day, hands-on training programs in North America and Europe. Pathway Studio enables pathway analysis of the entire probe list, associating genes into like–functioned or like–associated biological properties using advanced data analysis algorithms. Pathway analysis adds a biological perspective to experimental data.
“We have worked closely with Ariadne on a number of projects and are happy to be able to extend our partnership to the Affymetrix University Gene Expression Training Program,” said Greg Fisher, Associate Director of Strategic Marketing at Affymetrix. “Ariadne’s Pathway Studio product has proved to meet the needs of the students that attend our Affymetrix University courses and their expertise in pathway analysis and biological interpretation of microarray data will be a critical component of our data analysis course work.”
Course registrants will be provided a 30-day license to use Ariadne’s Pathway Studio following training. Pathway Studio’s workflow approach allows researchers to analyze and visualize results individually or in an integrated workflow. Each step can be saved, then updated or modified as new information becomes available. Separate analyses can be combined or intersected for advanced applications and discovery.

About Ariadne
Ariadne (www.ariadnegenomics.com), a leader in research data products and knowledge enrichment-based software solutions, helps pharmaceutical and life science researchers tap known scientific knowledge for applications in systems biology and translational medicine. We provide a portfolio of solutions for life science, drug discovery and development applications including custom data products, knowledge extraction and visualization software, knowledge reports, and informatics staffing.
Pathway Studio, built and powered by MedScan® technology, is integrated data mining and visualization software that allows organizations and researchers to rapidly extract relevant facts and relationships from large document collections (text-mining), build focused knowledgebases, while supporting the integration of OMICS experiments. The extracted knowledge is used for defining and testing in silico-based hypotheses across a wide range of disciplines including mechanistic modelling of disease, drug action and toxicity, as well as biomarker discovery, cellular and network pathway building, protein-protein interactions and many more.
Pathway Studio is available in desktop and enterprise versions along with therapeutic-focused knowledgebases and cartridges. For more information, visit us at www.ariadnegenomics.com
