Ariadne Genomics Announces the Release of PathwayStudio™ Central, Client-Server Software for Biological Pathway Analysis
Ariadne Genomics, Inc. today announced the release of PathwayStudio™ Central, client-server software for visualization and analysis of biological pathways and gene regulation networks for bio-medical research labs, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. PathwayStudio™ Central is available for a free 20 day trial at www.ariadnegenomics.com.
ROCKVILLE, MD (PRWEB) May 17, 2005 -- Ariadne Genomics, Inc. today announced
the release of PathwayStudio™ Central, client-server software for visualization
and analysis of biological pathways and gene regulation networks for bio-medical
research labs, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. PathwayStudio™
Central is available for a free 20 day trial at www.ariadnegenomics.com.
PathwayStudio™ Central builds
pathways from microarray data, identifies biomarkers, and models drug responses.
The software comes with ResNet™ database of 500,000+ functional relationships
and MedScan™ tool for automatic extraction of information from scientific
literature.
ResNet™ database of functional relationships for human, rat
and mouse contains 52,000 annotated mammalian proteins, 40,000 chemicals, and
over 500 thousand total functional relationships, among which there are 42,000+
physical protein-protein interactions, 46,000+ facts of gene expression
regulation, and about 160,000 links between 1779 human diseases and individual
proteins.
ResNet was compiled with MedScan™ unique Natural Language
Processing (NLP)-based tool. MedScan™ leverages hand-crafted dictionaries of
protein and chemical names, and precise text parsing and pattern matching
algorithms specifically developed for biological text
analysis.
“PathwayStudio™ Central helps scientists to keep current with
literature using embedded MedScan information extraction tool that can “read”
scientific text and extract functional relationships on the fly”, said Ilya
Mazo, President of Ariadne Genomics. “They can get an immediate view of all
known relationships for a protein or a small molecule, build pathways from gene
lists or results of PubMed searches, or predict networks from the gene
expression data.”
PathwayStudio™ Central is a scalable solution that can
be easily deployed in a lab or throughout an entire organization, enabling
pathway data sharing and user rights management. Server-side network analysis
algorithms and MedScan information extraction tools allow for computation
intensive tasks and provide convenient interfaces for the integration with
internal frameworks and third-party products.
