Rockville, MD and St. Joseph, MI (PRWEB) September 20, 2004 -– Ariadne
Genomics Inc. and GeneGo, Inc., two leading systems biology companies, today
announced integration and co-marketing of tools for functional analysis of
high-throughput experimental data. Ariadne Genomics’ MedScan TextMiner automated
text processing pipeline will be integrated and co-marketed with MetaCoreTM,
GeneGo’s flagship analytical platform that includes proprietary, manually
curated databases of human biology and chemistry.
“We are pleased to join
forces with Ariadne Genomics, the market leader in automated text mining of
biomedical information", said Dr. Tatiana Nikolskaya, President and CSO of
GeneGo. “MetaCore is known for its extensive, expert curated content and
analytical tools. Now, we are adding to the platform the most advanced Natural
Language Processing (NLP) engine available today. With the integration of
MedScan TextMiner, our customers will have more options and flexibility in
extracting relevant information from experimental data”.
“We are happy
to collaborate with GeneGo”, said Dr. Ilya Mazo, President of Ariadne Genomics.
“Our goal is to deliver comprehensive tools for genomic data analysis to the
working desk of every scientist, and this collaboration provides researchers
with unprecedented power and flexibility in text and data mining.
Specifically, they can build and analyze protein-protein, protein-ligand
and genetic interaction networks using GeneGo’s high quality databases of human
biology and active chemistry. At the same time, they will be able to see the
bigger picture with the vast space of protein interactions and regulations
extracted from MEDLINE publications, proprietary and public domain databases”.
MetaCoreTM features maps, pathways and networks for almost all known
human proteins; parsers for importing data from all major microarray platforms,
SAGE, proteomics and metabolomics data; seven proprietary network building
algorithms; flexible visualization and data exchange tools.
MedScan
TextMiner utilizes a proprietary Natural Language Processing engine to
automatically process MEDLINE abstracts, articles, and other scientific text in
TXT, PDF, HTML and other formats. It extracts functional associations among
proteins, cell processes, small molecules etc., and recognizes types of
regulatory mechanisms involved, and the effects of regulation.
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
TextMiner, an automated scientific text processing 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.
About
GeneGo
GeneGo is a Michigan-based company developing systems biology
technology for life science research. GeneGo’s first product, MetaCore, is an
original computational platform for integration and expert analysis of different
kinds of experimental data (mRNA expression, proteomics, metabolites, siRNA and
other phenotypic data ) and relevant active chemistry (metabolites, drugs, other
xenobiotics) within the framework of biological pathways and networks. GeneGo’s
second product, MetaDrug™, assists pharmaceutical scientists with the prediction
of metabolites and their likely toxicity in human. For more information, please
