Integrated Genomics and Ariadne Genomics Release New Software Product: Metabolic Vision Empowers Interactive Metabolic Pathway Visualization
Integrated Genomics and Ariadne Genomics have launched Metabolic Vision, an advanced microbial metabolic pathway database that can be incorporated into Ariadne’s highly successful PathwayAssist software suite. The first public demonstration of Metabolic Vision was at the Society for Industrial Microbiology Conference in Anaheim, CA, July 25-28.
CHICAGO, IL (PRWEB) July 28, 2004 -- Integrated Genomics and Ariadne Genomics
have launched Metabolic Vision, an advanced microbial metabolic pathway database
that can be incorporated into Ariadne’s highly successful PathwayAssist software
suite. The first public demonstration of Metabolic Vision was at the Society for
Industrial Microbiology Conference in Anaheim, CA, July 25-28.
Metabolic
Vision (www.ariadnegenomics.com/products/meta.html) combines
PathwayAssist’s pathway analysis and visualization tools with Integrated
Genomics’ extensive ERGO database of over 600 curated genomes to allow
researchers to explore and manage microbial metabolic pathways easily, and with
outstanding depth and specificity.
The Metabolic Vision module is
available to PathwayAssist customers as a downloadable database. There are
several packages available for researchers investigating microbial metabolism,
including specific packages for bacterial pathogens, antibiotic production, and
fungal metabolism.
“Metabolic Vision significantly increases the overall
scientific value of PathwayAssist, adding curated microbial and fungal data to
our eukaryotic molecular interaction databases. It combines dynamic pathway
visualization tools with detailed biochemical pathways from the ERGO database by
Integrated Genomics,” said Natalia Alexandrova, Marketing Director for Ariadne
Genomics.
“We are pleased to join forces to provide a product that we
believe will be an invaluable tool for industrial, academic, and biomedical
researchers investigating general microbiology, pathogenicity, antibiotic
biosynthesis, and fungal genomics,” added Dave Oehler, Director of Sales and
Marketing with Integrated Genomics.
PathwayAssist is available through
Stratagene everywhere except Japan, and through Infocom in Japan.
A
downloadable demo version of Metabolic Vision is available from Ariadne
Genomics’ website.
About Integrated Genomics
Integrated Genomics (www.integratedgenomics.com) is a bioinformatics products and
services company that specializes in enabling high quality genomic research for
the life science industry. The company focuses on microbial genomics and its
industrial and medical applications, assisting customers in several ways: genome
sequencing to fully complete or “close” genomes; the ERGO software suite, a
powerful, proprietary tool that offers comprehensive genomic analysis from a
diverse and rapidly expanding database of prokaryotic, eukaryotic and archael
organisms; custom bioinformatics projects that provide results ranging from ORF
calling to genome annotation to metabolic pathway reconstruction; and metabolic
engineering to apply genomics knowledge in order to direct product formation
during bioprocess optimization.
About Ariadne Genomics
Ariadne
Genomics develops software tools for systems biology, based on its innovative
natural language processing (NLP) and statistical algorithms: PathwayAssist, an
intuitive desktop software tool for reconstruction, analysis and visualization
of cell regulatory pathways; MedScan, an automated scientific text mining tool,
extracting information from MEDLINE abstracts, articles and other text
resources; ResNet, a comprehensive molecular networks database, created by
automated extraction of biological facts from the entire PubMed, and Seqware, a
PC-based BLAST server, storing and managing the entire GenBank and
more.
