Ariadne Genomics, Inc. announces PathwayExpert™, a new enterprise class software platform for pathway analysis and systems biology. PathwayExpert allows life scientists to analyze microarray and proteomics data, create and share custom pathways for diseases, drug targets, biomarkers, as well as literature mining.

Rockville, MD (PRWEB) November 1, 2005 -- Ariadne Genomics, Inc. announces PathwayExpert™, a new enterprise class software platform for pathway analysis and systems biology. PathwayExpert allows life scientists to analyze microarray and proteomics data, create and share custom pathways for diseases, drug targets, biomarkers, as well as literature mining.
The new platform adds to Ariadne’s pathway analysis product line consisting of the best selling desktop product PathwayAssist™ and the client-server solution, PathwayStudio® Central. The system supports distributed tools and data sources, as well as sharing and workgroups functionality at the corporate level.

PathwayExpert comes with ResNet Plus™, the largest existing database of functional relationships and protein-protein interactions containing over a thousand reconstructed pathways. Moreover, users can automatically process literature and add new facts to the database with MedScan™ Text-to-Knowledge module. PathwayExpert allows users to add and share their proprietary data, edit information in the database, create new entities and biological relationships, and map or import external data sources.

“Open architecture of PathwayExpert specifically benefits research and bioinformatics groups in large organizations. Now they can go beyond pathway analysis, and integrate pathway information with other types of data,” said Ilya Mazo, president of Ariadne Genomics. “The software can be web-delivered or deployed in-house and runs on multiple platforms including Linux and Windows. Its back end compatibility with both Oracle and free database engines such as PostgreSQL, ensures easy installation and management, and low cost of ownership.”

PathwayExpert will be released later this year, but several companies around the world have already signed for beta-site evaluation. In Japan, it is introduced by and will be available from World Fusion, leader in life science IT consulting and customized software development in Japan.

Beta version of PathwayExpert is available for evaluation. For more information, please visit www.ariadnegenomics.com/products/pathwayexpert, or call 240-453-6296.
