Molecular Pathway analysis

Metabolic pathways that impact on epigenetic DNA modification

Visualising and exploring time-series data

Interactive visualisation of gene expression time-course data (click 'play' or select different displays using the plot tabs).  This example shows the relationship between expression of the ERG gene-fusion and the HES1 gene in VCaP prostate cancer cells treated with androgens or vehicle control over a 24hr period (data from Massie et al. ERC 2015, plots generated using R and GoogleVis).
