| Osaka University Shimadzu Analytical Innovation Research Laboratory has developed software to analyze and visualize multi-omics data jointly with Osaka University and the Systems Biology Institute (SBI). |  |
The software workflow is based on software tools (called gadgets) that have been released on the GARUDA

The Multi-omics Analysis Package provides the ability to automatically generate metabolic maps and perform a variety of data analysis for the vast data generated in fields like metabolomics, proteomics and flux analysis. It offers a powerful platform to support drug discovery, bioengineering and other life science research applications.

Volcano Plot A tool that combines a t-test (statistically significant difference) and a fold analysis (Example: Difference in mean value such as 2 times or 1/2) to visualize the differences between the 2 groups. The Volcano Plot gadget developed by Shimadzu is included in the package. |
 |
VANTED Tool maintained at University of Konstanz, Germany, for visualization and analysis of networks across different data sets. (GARUDA support was developed at Monash University) |
 |
Cytoscape Bioinformatics tool developed by the Cytoscape Consortium, used to visualize metabolic pathways, to integrate gene expression profiles with related data, and so on. It is especially useful for analyzing networks and visualizing correlations. |
The Multi-omics analysis package contains gadgets for data processing that connect to each gadget for analysis, and can be used as if it were a single piece of software. By linking with various method packages of Shimadzu Corporation, you can smoothly perform operations from measurement to data analysis with a mass spectrometer.
You can download a blank map (metabolic map) for pasting MS data used for VANTED. Also, please refer to the summary of how to create a blank map for VANTED.
If you would like an explanation, demonstration, related materials, reference quotation, etc. of this analysis package, please contact Shimadzu Corporation / sales representative / distributor or fill out the contact form.
