 Help DocsMAPPER: Dynamic network / pathway mappingThe MAPPER app allows you to visualize your client's genomic data directly in a number of hand-curated pathway maps. In addition to allowing for quick pattern recognition, MAPPER uses combinatorics and graph theory to ascertain certain functional characteristics of genes in the network, based on their position in a web of interconnections. Working with MAPPER From the main menu bar at the top of the screen, hover your mouse cursor over the link labeled 'Mappings'. This will trigger a pull-down menu showing the current categories of maps available (Detoxification Networks, Inflammatory Networks, etc.) Select your area of interest. You will then be presented with thumbnails of the various maps under that category. Select a map by clicking on the image or the link below it. This will load the map into the full window. Here we are presented with the various genes associated with the activity of the map subject. When you first load a map into MAPPER you are in 'Global Analysis' mode. Clicking the 'Power Analysis' link at the top of the map switches the view to 'Power Analysis' mode. To read a synopsis of the network map, click on 'About This Map.' Layout The Mapper uses standard network pathway symbols:
