However, the results of omics experiments can be long lists of pathways that are difficult to interpret. PAVER is an R package that automatically curates long lists of pathways into groups, identifies which pathway is most representative of each group, and provides publication-ready intuitive visualizations. PAVER makes it easy to integrate multiple pathway analyses, identify relevant biological insights and can work with any pathway database. +Omics studies look at large amounts of biological data to understand changes that cause different traits or conditions in living things. However, analyzing omics data often results in long, hard-to-understand lists of pathways. PAVER is an R package that automatically curates similar pathways into groups, identifies the most representative pathway of each group, and provides publication-ready intuitive visualizations. PAVER makes it easy to integrate multiple pathway analyses, discover relevant biological insights and can work with any pathway database. # Statement of Need
