Key use cases
Biomarker discovery and validation
Identify key biomarkers and discover which genes in signatures provide the best markers for major disease areas, optimal therapeutic targets, and mechanisms of action.
Drug repurposing
Look for inverse correlations to discover gene–disease compound links that indicate a new purpose for a drug.
Mechanism of action
Find correlations with signatures from public data or internal data as well as signatures corresponding to biological states or functions, such as pathways to determine mechanisms of action.
Drug safety and toxicogenomics
Leverage public toxicology studies to evaluate compound signatures and use curated studies or the meta-analysis app to uncover overlaps with other known toxicogenomic signatures.

Yes, such knowledge-based signatures are referred to as biogroups in Correlation Engine. Use the Pathway Enrichment app to determine if your bioset is enriched in biogroups corresponding to gene or protein sets from the GO consortium, MSigDB, TargetScan and InterPro.
Correlation Engine recognizes most public and standard commercial platform identifiers, including NCBI Gene IDs, Gene symbols, NCBI accession numbers, ENSEMBL IDs, RefSeq identifiers, IPI IDs, and custom IDs from most Affymetrix, Illumina, Agilent, and GE Healthcare platforms.
Correlation Engine uses proprietary rank-based statistics to compute associations between the data you import and all other experimental data. This allows you to place your experimental results within the context of the world's experiments to validate your results, discover novel associations, and design new experiments. It correlates your data with all biogroups as well, allowing discovery of common features among genes or proteins that comprise your study.
There are over 26,000 studies in Correlation Engine corresponding to over 190,000 public data signatures. Studies in Correlation Engine are updated weekly.
