Genomica Previews New Software Release at American Society of Human Genetics Annual Meeting.BOULDER, Colo.--(BW HealthWire)--Oct. 28, 1998--Genomica Corp., a leading pharmacogenomics company developing tools to facilitate gene discovery and drug development, announced it is previewing its new product release, Discovery Manager(TM) Version 2.1.0, at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics Human genetics A discipline concerned with genetically determined resemblances and differences among human beings. Technological advances in the visualization of human chromosomes have shown that abnormalities of chromosome number or structure are surprisingly in Denver from Wednesday, Oct. 28 through Friday, Oct. 30, 1998. The company expects the new software to be available to customers in December. Discovery Manager is a comprehensive software product that supports a range of research activities and provides data that can be used by pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies Top 100 Biotechnology Companies The following is a list of the top 100 biotechnology companies ranked by revenue. The first nine companies qualify for the list of the top 50 pharmaceutical companies. . In addition to extensive visualization and analysis tools, it offers a comprehensive database of genetics information, collected from numerous sources and integrated through a process of semantic normalization In relational database management, a process that breaks down data into record groups for efficient processing. There are six stages. By the third stage (third normal form), data are identified only by the key field in their record. . This process merges data that is represented around the world in a variety of ways into a common semantic model, enabling scientists to exploit complex relationships among sets of genetic information. Version 2.1.0 will bring additional features in genetic marker genetic marker n. A gene phenotypically associated with a particular, easily identified trait and used to identify an individual or cell carrying that gene. analysis, sequence analysis and complex data queries. "Discovery Manager will now provide users with additional automated tools to process very large patient data sets and perform high-throughput sequence analyses," said Susan Strong, Genomica's vice president of Sales and Marketing. "Many of these new features are based on specific user requests. Discovery Manager is the only software that combines the tools needed by geneticists This is a list of people who have made notable contributions to genetics. The growth and development of genetics represents the work of many people. This list of geneticists is therefore by no means complete. Contributors of great distinction to genetics are not yet on the list. and molecular biologists, bioinformatics and clinical data managers, epidemiologists, biochemists and project managers alike." New Features Highlighted Discovery Manager Version 2.1.0 will offer important new or upgraded features, including: The Marker Manager -- allows users to generate graphs and reports comparing the frequency of genetic markers of interest in different populations and subject clusters. This provides increased functionality and data management for association studies. The Conditional Pipeline for Sequence Analysis -- allows the high-throughput screening High-throughput screening (HTS), is a method for scientific experimentation especially used in drug discovery and relevant to the fields of biology and chemistry. Purpose and method of multiple DNA sequences against a large selection of user-specified databases through complex decision-tree pipelines. Input sequences for each step in the pipeline can be filtered based on the results of the previous step, and the pipeline can branch based on these results. Template-conditional pipelines can be saved for use with additional sequence sets in the future. The Advanced Query Tool Advanced Query Tool (AQT) is a Microsoft Windows based SQL query software tool that facilitates the administration of, and executing queries against the most common database management systems. -- allows highly complex queries using any type of data within the system (clone, probe, map, etc.). Important clusters can be identified within the large Discovery Manager database using instruction sets comprised of grammatical and parenthetical inputs to create specific groupings of criteria. Enhanced Inheritance Checking -- additional tools for internal inheritance checking and support for advanced third-party inheritance checking programs. Genomica Corp. is a leading pharmacogenomics software company with headquarters in Boulder. The company's tools combine clinical, epidemiology, genetic, molecular biology molecular biology, scientific study of the molecular basis of life processes, including cellular respiration, excretion, and reproduction. The term molecular biology was coined in 1938 by Warren Weaver, then director of the natural sciences program at the Rockefeller and biochemistry applications into a single software package that enables scientists to accelerate genetic discoveries and the development of molecular medicine. Genomica's software supports a range of research activities and provides data that can be accessed and utilized by pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. The company was established in 1996 by Dr. Thomas G. Marr to commercialize the tools he and his team developed at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory  The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York New York, state, United StatesNew York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of . |
