IPA, Software, Department of Biostatistics & Data Science
Ingenuity Pathways Analysis enables scientists (e.g., biologists, geneticists, bioinformaticians) to identify the most relevant biological mechanisms, pathways, and functions to their experimental datasets or genes of interest. IPA helps researchers:
- Easily search the scientific literature
- Build dynamic pathway models
- Quickly analyze experimental data
- Share research and collaborate
Some Applications:
- Biomarker Discovery
- Metabolomics
- MicroRNA Research
- Proteomics
- Toxicogenomics
- Transcriptomics
- Causal Network Analysis
