InforSense(R) Launches GenSense - Statistical Genetics Solution.


* High throughput workflow based system enables flexible iterative analysis required by genetic studies

LONDON & CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- InforSense Ltd., the leading provider of enterprise real-time analytics, today announced the launch of InforSense GenSense, a statistical genetics solution built on the company's flagship product A primary product of a company, which is typically why the company was founded and/or what made it well known. For example, MS-DOS, Windows and the Microsoft Office suite have been flagship products of Microsoft. CorelDRAW is a flagship product of Corel Corporation.  - InforSense KDE (K Desktop Environment) A GUI-based user interface primarily for Unix and Linux machines, but also available for Windows and Mac. The source code is freely distributed and is maintained by developers around the world. .

"The data handling and analysis capabilities available through InforSense GenSense will significantly benefit the statistical genetics user community in their search for genetic effects on disease," said Ross Lazarus, Director of Bioinformatics at the Channing Laboratory, Harvard. "I am particularly excited that functionality from our Rgenetics project is being made available through the GenSense offering; InforSense is the first commercial organization to do this."

With the throughput that is possible from the new genotyping platforms, genetics is now well placed to deliver on the promise of delivering novel biomarkers. As whole genome association studies are becoming commonplace, analytics will be even more critical for delivering knowledge from these experiments.

 Statistical Genetics Workshop chaired by Dr Jean-Pierre Kocher, Bioinformatics Core Director, the 100 attendees from industry and academia emphasized the need for a high throughput analytical platform for statistical genetics to help identify predictive and diagnostic biomarkers by analyzing associations between genotypic and phenotypic data. The conference was sponsored through an educational grant by InforSense.

"The InforSense KDE architecture, with its ability to incorporate the leading analysis techniques, flexibility in handling multiple data formats and ability to support streaming of very large data sets is ideally suited to provide the underlying platform on which to build GenSense," said Jonathan Sheldon, Chief Science Officer, InforSense. "What we have heard from researchers worldwide indicates that our product is in sync with academia and industry needs."

InforSense GenSense enables the analysis of data from the latest generation of genotyping platforms. It has been specifically designed to assist researchers understand complex analyses, quickly find interesting SNP's and produce reports with easy to understand graphical summaries and interactive visualizations of large data sets. The first version of GenSense supports data from both Illumina and Affymetrix and supports links to standard genomics data sources such as Entrez Gene, HapMap and dbSNPs.

GenSense is currently available to partners under an early access program, with the general release scheduled for the first quarter of 2007. For more information on the early access program, contact Jonathan Sheldon at jsheldon@inforsense.com.
