BioPAN: Documentation¶
BioPAN for Bioinformatics Methodology For Pathway Analysis is a tool that allows users to upload their own mammalian lipidomics dataset and perform a pathway analysis. In this analysis, users can explore systematic changes in lipid pathways at different levels: lipid class and lipid species. Those pathways will be highlighted and changes in enzyme activity will also be predicted.
BioPAN is fully integrated with LipidLynxX 1 to allow the user to upload dataset from different naming conventions and levels.
The following figure presents the workflow of BioPAN:
BioPAN does not require any installation. You can use it directly from the interface available on the LIPID MAPS® website. You will be able to access to your current analysis for 30 days.
