Description

MetaCore™ is an integrated software suite for functional analysis of microarray, metabolic, SAGE, proteomics, siRNA, microRNA, and screening data. MetaCore is based on a high-quality, manually-curated database of:

Transcription factors, receptors, ligands, kinases, drugs, and endogenous metabolites as well as other molecular classes.

Species-specific directional interactions between protein-protein, protein-DNA and protein-RNA, drug targeting, and bioactive molecules and their effects.

Signaling and metabolic pathways represented on maps and Networks.

Rich ontologies for diseases and processes with hierarchical or graphic output.

Features

  • Pathway analysis of ‘omics’ data for drug discovery
  • Knowledge mining of the database for hypothesis generation
  • Target and biomarker assessment and validation
  • Disease pathway modeling and investigation of causal mechanisms
  • Patient stratification, comprehensive comparison, and functional fingerprinting

Benefits

  • Access to the unrivalled biological systems content contained within the MetaCore database
  • Robust data parsers and dynamic thresholding for comparative studies across any datasets
  • Interactome and topology tools that help avoid literature bias and rank molecular entities based on their connectivity for the dataset
  • Controlled vocabulary which provides one single semantic framework for all biological entities and their interactions
  • Rich proprietary ontologies that can be used for enrichment and functional profiling of multiple samples and various data types concurrently
  • Exporting and automated reporting capabilities that provide scientific workflow documents and network interactions and enrichments reports in minutes
  • Custom network building with flexible and powerful algorithms and tools for easy network analysis
  • Custom ontologies for user-made networks that can be used for enrichments
  • Custom maps for hypothesis visualization and collaborative research
  • Custom interactions that can be introduced and juxtaposed over existing MetaCore interactions
