Genencor Licenses the ERGO(TM) Genomics Platform for Microbial Production of Enzymes and other Bioproducts'.CHICAGO -- Integrated Genomics announced today that Genencor, the biotechnology division of Danisco A/S that develops innovative enzymes and bio-products, has licensed the ERGO[TM] bioinformatics software system to characterize and optimize microbial microbial pertaining to or emanating from a microbe. microbial digestion the breakdown of organic material, especially feedstuffs, by microbial organisms. products used in reducing the environmental impact of the cleaning, textiles, fuel and chemical industries. ERGO is a powerful software platform for analyzing genome sequences and performing gene annotations, metabolic reconstructions, and other gene analyses and comparisons. Optimized for analysis of microorganisms, ERGO integrates biological data from genomics, biochemistry biochemistry, science concerned chiefly with the chemistry of biological processes; it attempts to utilize the tools and concepts of chemistry, particularly organic and physical chemistry, for elucidation of the living system. , gene expression studies, genetics and literature. Reaching beyond conventional systems for functional analysis of DNA sequences DNA sequence Genetics The precise order of bases–A,T,G,C–in a segment of DNA, gene, chromosome, or an entire genome. See Base pair, Base sequence analysis, Chromosome, Gene, Genome. , Integrated Genomics' platform combines pattern-based analysis with 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 and enables visualization Using the computer to convert data into picture form. The most basic visualization is that of turning transaction data and summary information into charts and graphs. Visualization is used in computer-aided design (CAD) to render screen images into 3D models that can be viewed from all of genes in the contexts of regulation, gene expression data, phylogeny, chromosomal chromosomal, adj relating to chromosome, or a configuration within the cell's nucleus that contains a linear thread of DNA that conveys genetic data. chromosomal emanating from or pertaining to chromosome. neighborhoods and identification of natural gene fusions. ERGO contains more than 1145 genomes at various stages of completion, as well as the largest available collection of networked cellular pathways. About Integrated Genomics Integrated Genomics (www.integratedgenomics.com) is a provider of bioinformatics products and services for the life science industry, with a recent focus on the use of in silico strategies for comparative genomics. The company's expertise in microbial genomics includes genome sequencing, genome analysis and custom bioinformatics. IG has developed and distributed ERGO, the most advanced and comprehensive bioinformatics suite for microbial genomics on the market. ERGO contains the largest available integration of microbial genome data, including genome-derived metabolic reconstructions and representing the chemical reaction networks of metabolic pathways. |
