Abstract

PathJam is a new comprehensive and freely accessible web-server application integrating scattered human pathway annotation from several public sources. The tool has been designed to be intuitive for wet-lab users providing statistical enrichment analysis of pathway annotation for a given gene list of interest. Results are displayed in several interactive and downloadable views (graphs, spread-sheets, etc.) facilitating the biological interpretation of the gene lists. Moreover, PathJam allows users to build their own gene sets files in order to use them in gene set enrichment-based analysis. Finally, a simplified version of PathJam has been also implemented as a widget and is currently available for CARGO users.
