|---|
Summary: MPSQ (Multi-Protein States Query) is a web based tool for the discovery of protein states. In particular, large sets of genes can be used to search for enriched state transition network maps and features facilitating the interpretation of genomic scale experiments such as microarrays. For the returned network map, graph visualization is provided for easy understanding and to guide further analysis.
