"The tool allows researchers to look not just at single genes, but gives a higher order view by looking at modules of multiple genes at the same time," coauthor of the paper, Aviv Regev of Harvard University, told
"The whole thing is done in an automated fashion and can work on gene sets from other species besides humans and processes that are not cancer," added Daphne Koller from Stanford University, who also worked on the project.
