Upstream Analysis
What is Upstream Analysis?
GeneXplain’s proprietary approach to analyze gene expression data is called Upstream Analysis. The term indicates that it is a causal analysis, providing a clue about the reason why a certain set of genes has been up- (or down-) regulated in the system under study. In contrast, conventional analyses usually reveal the effects of the differentially expressed genes, e.g. by mapping them onto ontological categories.
