What kind of experimental data can Pathway Studio accommodate?

The experimental data types supported by Pathway Studio analytical features include:

• Gene expression
• Proteomics
• Metabolomics
• RNA sequencing (RNA-seq)
• DNA variants (Web only)
• Methylation
• Phosphorylation
• Genome-wide association studies

Note that Pathway Studio analytical features support virtually any data that can be expressed in the format of a tab-delimited file with an identifier for the gene, protein, small molecule, disease, etc. together with numerical values. Pathway Studio Enterprise enables the simultaneous analysis of multiple data types.

How does Pathway Studio deal with firewall security?

Security is one of our biggest concerns. Pathway Studio Web is accessible using a HTTPS protocol. This requires port 443 to be open in a company's firewall. Since this is a standard setting, users should have clear access to Pathway Studio Web from within their company environment.

Pathway Studio Enterprise is natively installed behind your company's firewall, which eliminates access issues.

Can customers link to in-house data with Pathway Studio?

Yes, Pathway Studio Enterprise supports this workflow.

Do corporate- and campus-wide access and web-based access allow for individual saved searches?

Yes. Both Pathway Studio Web and Pathway Studio Enterprise support login accounts for saving imported experiments, analytical results, and pathways.

For Pathway Studio Enterprise, your company's application administrator can create user accounts for access. Alternatively, Pathway Studio Enterprise can be integrated with your company's authentication system such as LDAP or ActiveDirectory.

With Pathway Studio Web, users with CWA access (IP authentication) can use the system in anonymous mode without saving results, or self-register for a login account so that results can be saved.
