IAMBEE: Network-Based Identification of Adaptive Pathways

IAMBEE is a web server designed for network-based genotype-phenotype mapping of clonal populations that display the same focal phenotype. Such populations are typically obtained through either natural or experimental evolution. The goal is to derive from the genomic information of these populations the genes that carry alterations causal to an observed common adapted phenotype (referred to as drivers).

IAMBEE takes as input an organism specific interaction network, and the variants called in each of the evolved populations (clones). It then identifies drivers/driver pathways by searching for recurrently mutated genes/subnetworks on the interaction network. IAMBEE is designed to identify infrequent drivers in highly mutated populations.
