REDWOOD CITY, California, June 17 /PRNewswire/ --
Ingenuity Systems, the leading provider of information solutions for life science researchers, today released IPA 6.3, the newest version of its pathway analysis and life sciences knowledge software. IPA now supports Affymetrix GeneChip(R) Exon Arrays and several new animal and plant species.
Currently, IPA supports a variety of different research platforms including gene expression, proteomics, SNPs, genotyping, and RNAi. Now with the support of Affymetrix GeneChip Exon Arrays, researchers using this system can use IPA for further analysis and interpretation of the gene expression data. IPA will provide a rapid assessment of the signaling and metabolic pathways, molecular networks, and biological processes most significantly perturbed in the dataset being examined.
"We're excited that Ingenuity's IPA now supports Affymetrix Whole Transcript Exon and Gene Arrays," stated Rob Clum, Market Development Manager, Informatics, Affymetrix. "Our array technology is designed to provide the most detailed view of gene expression, and IPA helps researchers go a step further to better understand the underlying biology involved in their experimental system."
"IPA 6.3 provides significant new customer benefits by supporting additional research platforms," commented Brigitte Ganter, Ph.D., Director of Product Management, Ingenuity Systems. "Researchers using Affymetrix Exon Arrays can now leverage IPA to identify the molecular networks, cellular and disease phenotypes, and pathways most significantly associated with their datasets for a deeper understanding of the complex systems they are studying. IPA now also supports key animal and plant species, which are essential for our customers whose primary research involves model organisms like Drosophila, Zebrafish, Arabidopsis, or others."
