Understanding cellular function and disease with comparative pathway analysis

Pathway analysis is important in interpreting the functional implications of high-throughput experimental results, but robust comparison across platforms and species is problematic. A new approach, Pathprinting, provides a cross-platform, cross-species comparative analysis of pathway expression signatures. This method calculates pathway-level statistics from gene expression across nearly 180,000 microarrays in the Gene Expression Omnibus. Pathprinting can accurately retrieve phenotypically similar samples and identify sets of human and mouse genes that are prognostic in cancer.See related Research paper, http://genomemedicine.com/content/5/7/68
