The phrase "assess pathway" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are evaluating or analyzing a particular route or method, often in fields like education, healthcare, or project management.
Example: "We need to assess the pathway for student success in our new curriculum to identify areas for improvement."
Alternatives: "evaluate route" or "analyze process".
There is no clearly "correct" method for taking what is learned by microarray experiment in culture and applying it to assess pathway activity in tissue samples.
Since these gene expression models of pathway activation were generated using oligonucleotide Affymetrix arrays, and most Affymetrix probesets included in these predictors were not present in the cDNA datasets, we did not assess pathway activation in tumors from the 2 cDNA datasets as these predictions would have been less reliable.
Potential targets for each miRNA were imported into Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) to assess pathway enrichment.
This approach allowed us to first assess pathway enrichment without arbitrary thresholds for significance.
GSEA (Subramanian et al., 2005, 2007) was used to assess pathway enrichment.
In addition, other methods to assess pathway activation status may be employed to identify prognostic factors.
We assess pathways for integrating the ecosystem services concept into American land use and environmental planning.
Since conserved gene-level changes are rather rare events, differ between individuals, and methodologically difficult to assess, pathway-level analysis detects multiple relevant gene changes in different individuals within the same phenotype (here, PD), which consists of the entire repertoire of all responsible changes eventually leading to the same phenotype: PD.
Comparative proteomic analyses were performed to assess pathway-level alterations between KO-IR and WT-IR hearts.
The last approach here reviewed to assess pathways functionality is the generalized mass-action kinetics.
Both models are plausible and although our subjects are from a longitudinal study, the brain samples are cross sectional which limits our ability to assess pathways and causality.
