Pathways analysis enables Analysis of data in the context of molecular mechanisms to move beyond statistical analysis of expression to novel biological insights Applying biological filters to focus in on the changes most relevant to experimental model Comparison of affected pathways and phenotypes across platform, time, dose etc (

What regulatory relationships exist between the genes, proteins in my dataset? Which biological and disease processes are most relevant to my genes of interest? Which well-characterized cell signaling and metabolic pathways are most relevant to my experimental data? Networks Functional analysis Metabolic And Signaling pathways

Cytoscape Cytoscape is a freely-available (open-source, java-based) bioinformatics software platform for visualizing biological networks (e.g. molecular interaction networks) and analyzing networks with gene expression profiles and other data

Core Features Customize network data display using visual styles Powerful graph layout tools Easily organize multiple networks Easily navigate large networks Filter the network Plugin API

Cytoscape includes a flexible plugin architecture that enables developers to add extra functionality beyond that provided in the core

Some plugins jActiveModules: identify significant “active” subnetworks Expression Correlation Network: cluster expression data Agilent Literature Search: build networks by extracting interactions from scientific literature. MCODE: finds clusters of highly interconnected regions in networks cPath: query, retrieve and visualize interactions from the MSKCC Cancer Pathway database BiNGO: determine which Gene Ontology (GO) categories are statistically over-represented in a set of genes Motif Finder: runs a Gibbs sampling motif detector on sequences for nodes in a Cytoscape network.
