Patent ID: 8244480

Claim:
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing therein an analysis support program when executed causing a computer to execute a process comprising: receiving test result data identifying a molecule administered to a test subject or a deficient molecule, as an analysis subject molecule, and quantity-changing molecules that have changed in quantity due to administration or deficiency of the analysis subject molecule in the test subject; acquiring a first pathway indicating an interaction between the quantity-changing molecules identified by the test result data; acquiring a second pathway indicating a molecular interaction with the analysis subject molecule, from a database storing therein for each molecular interaction, a type; determining from among biological phenomena correlated with the interaction between quantity-changing molecules of the first pathway, a biological phenomenon other than a biological phenomenon correlated with a molecular interaction of the second pathway to be a novel biological phenomenon caused by administration or deficiency of the analysis subject molecule; and outputting a determination result obtained at the determining.
