Public Profile

TopGear Automation Inc provides tools, research & development, and discovery analysis for the biotech sector. This includes: Bioinformatics Tools for Translational Research, Software for Gene Expression Analysis and Computational Toxicity. TopGear Automation's products and processes apply across many industries; these industries have the common challenge, namely the complexity of product development cycle and the diversity of groups. TopGear's technology has the ability to accurately estimate signal pathway activity from genome-wide expression data. Prediction algorithms based on expression data traditionally do not consider the correlation between genes, which results in useful information being discarded. The firm’s software tools were developed to capture this information by using gene-gene correlations as an additional parameter in comparing testing and training data sets. This analysis capability is sensitive, specific and an effective quantitative method to predict the activity of signaling pathways or transcriptional networks using the information encoded in gene expression patterns. This approach also provides identifying cellular responses to virtually any type of perturbation in complex samples using any large data set consisting of continuous variables, including data from microarray, proteomic and epigenetic experiments.
