The MetaCore-GeneGO Pathway Analysis Software is a web-based application that enables researchers to explore, understand, and discover relevant networks significant to their research results. Using a researcher's gene or protein dataset in combination with GeneGO's genome-scale knowledge base, the application generates multiple biologic networks with an associated functional analysis to facilitate biological understanding of the dataset. Specifically it: A)Supports genomic and proteomic and metabolomic data analysis; B)Enables discovery of novel genes, proteins and interactions (canonical) pathways; C)Allows expansion of pathways to identify putative targets; D)Contains manually curated pathways from full-text scientific literature (just abstacts), including toxicology journals. This is a unique Pathway Analysis software that allows that a researchers to view their data in terms of networks of pathways in an "interactomic fashion". There are no pathway analysis packages on the market today that contains and can integrate genomic and proteomic datsets of annotated pathways as provided by GeneGO Pathway Software. This software is presently being used to support on ongoing research project at EPA. It is required for continuity of data analyses for the project. Procurement of this software will enable comparative analyses over the entire research project. EPA has identified GeneGO, Inc., the only vendor capable of satisfy the requirement. The circumstance permitting is FAR 13.106(B) "only one source reasonably available".. The intent of this notice is to determine if any other source(s) exist, and therefore, no solicitation (RFQ) is available.
