Company Description: Overview Biotique Systems, Inc. was founded in 2001 to solve critical issues in the life sciences. The Company provides decision support tools and services for the emerging field of pharmacogenomics Pharmacogenomics is the branch of pharmacology which deals with the influence of genetic variation on drug response in patients by correlating gene expression or single-nucleotide polymorphisms with a drug's efficacy or toxicity. . Biotique's pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers have adopted the Company's solutions to integrate and visualize their proprietary, third-party and public data sources, create and optimize biochip biochip Small-scale device, analogous to an integrated circuit, constructed of or used to analyze organic molecules associated with living organisms. One type of theoretical biochip is a small device constructed of large organic molecules, such as proteins, and capable of designs and other assays, and perform comparative genomic genomic pertaining to a genome. genomic clone see clone. genomic DNA the DNA sequences making up the genome of an individual. genomic library see gene bank. analysis. As a result, Biotique is enabling the next generation of genomic discovery. Industry Challenges Pharmaceutical and biotechnology organizations face complex information management challenges as they attempt to translate various sources of internal, licensed and public data into promising targets for drug design, diagnostics and crop science. In order to remain competitive, these organizations require an efficient means to manage and compare disparate data sources, reduce their complexity, share information across the enterprise, and turn genomic data into promising and validated targets for their discovery programs. The Biotique Solution The Company's current offering is based on the Biotique Local Integration Solution (BLIS BLIS Blind Spot Information System (Volvo) BLIS Building Lifecycle Interoperable Software BLIS Blood Information System BLIS Base Level Inquiry System BLIS Basic Load Inspection System BLIS Bell Laboratories Interpretive System ), a secure platform for the integration and refinement of disparate biological data that uses the human genome The human genome is the genome of Homo sapiens, which is composed of 24 distinct pairs of chromosomes (22 autosomal + X + Y) with a total of approximately 3 billion DNA base pairs containing an estimated 20,000–25,000 genes. as a reference template (1) A pre-designed document or data file formatted for common purposes such as a fax, invoice or business letter. If the document contains an automated process, such as a word processing macro or spreadsheet formula, then the programming is already written and embedded in the . BLIS enables customers to more effectively discover and manage intellectual property assets from multiple research projects and data sources, eliminate redundancy and maximize knowledge sharing. Biotique also offers extension products and services to enhance the value and functionality of BLIS. These extensions allow customers to design, manage and share chip and probe designs and perform comparative genomics Comparative genomics is the study of relationships between the genomes of different species or strains. Comparative genomics is an attempt to take advantage of the information provided by the signatures of selection to understand the function and evolutionary processes that act on with model organisms A model organism is a species that is extensively studied to understand particular biological phenomena, with the expectation that discoveries made in the organism model will provide insight into the workings of other organisms. .
