A group of scientists from Russia, the U.S., Canada and Germany has developed a simple and effective web service called Genes And Metabolites (GAM) to help researchers study complex biological processes in cells. The program identifies links between changes in metabolism and genes, enabling a better understanding of how, for example, cancer or immune system cells work. Metabolic regulation plays a major role in these biological objects. New insights derived from the service can be applied to develop treatments for autoimmune diseases and cancer. The study was published in the Nucleic Acids Research.
