PAFway

PAFway is a novel software tool that simplifies the interpretation of large and complex gene networks by estimating pairwise associations between functional annotations within biological networks and pathways. Its primary objective is to address whether genes with a specific function tend to regulate genes with another particular function, thus shedding light on the intricate regulatory relationships within biological systems.

The tool facilitates the visualization of these relationships through heatmaps or networks, mapping out the connections between different biological functions in a visually accessible manner. This feature is particularly useful for researchers looking to understand the functional interplay within gene networks and pathways, enabling a more profound comprehension of biological processes.
