LION bioscience releases SRS Pathway Editor
LION bioscience announced today the release and immediate availability of the SRS Pathway Editor. This new software allows researchers to produce, visualize, compare and merge biological pathway and other relationship data using a novel, proprietary algorithm. The SRS Pathway Editor was built on evolving industry standards such as the widely used Eclipse(TM) platform and SBML, the standard format for importing and exporting pathways.
The SRS Pathway Editor utilizes SRS Web Service technology to pull data from many different data sources and visualize the relationships between the different data points. This can include data from public domain sources (e.g. KEGG, BIND), proprietary data and text mining results extracted from literature. The SRS Pathway Editor provides a standardized view across diverse data. The user can then modify or curate the data as well as overlay additional information (e.g. gene expression results) onto the pathway.
“The SRS Pathway Editor capitalizes on SRS integration capabilities. Linking relevant information together and visualizing the relationship networks will help researchers to understand the interdependencies and allow them to make informed decisions”, said Dr. Thure Etzold, CEO of LION bioscience. “The SRS Pathway Editor can also be used as a standalone desktop tool, loading data from many different data sources outside of SRS.”
