A multi-tier architecture for Graphite Web: a tool for pathway analysis of high-throughput expression data

Abstract

The goal of this project is to improve the implementation of Graphite Web which is a public web server for analysis and visualization of biological pathways using high-throughput gene expression data of both microarray and RNA-seq experiments. We extended the Graphite Web software's architecture, developing a multi-tier architecture and implementing it in Python in order to save every operation carried out by the user and allow to execute more analysis in the same time
