If you have ‘Omics data that you need to analyze for relationships, try using IPA. Anyone with a uOttawa.ca email account can get access to use this software and search the IPA proprietary interactome database with many interaction entries not available in public interactome databases. Contact Stephen Baird, Manager of the High Throughput Screening (HTS) Core Facility, for an account.

The Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) is a client-based software that interfaces with the Qiagen IPA servers to enables analysis, and understanding of data from gene expression, miRNA, and SNP microarrays, as well as metabolomics, proteomics, genetic screens and RNAseq experiments. Even small experiments can benefit from their manually curated database which contains many interactions not found in commonly used public interactome databases. The data analysis and search capabilities of IPA can help scientists understand the significance of data, specific targets, or candidate biomarkers in the context of larger biological or chemical systems.

For more information about IPA, please see their website.
