Poochon developed a novel pathway analysis tool called PROMICPATH. The PROMICPATH provides both 42 common pathways analysis services (available for human and mouse samples) and customized pathway analysis services. To ensure the integrity and reliability the PROMICPATH uses 10 groups of 400 housekeeping proteins to evaluate the completeness and variability of a proteome profile. An example of output of PROMICPATH analysis is illustrated below.
