University of York Integrate Nonlinear's Samespots for a New Approach to 2D Image Analysis.NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE Newcastle upon Tyne, city (1991 pop. 199,064) and metropolitan district, NE England, on the Tyne River. The city is an important shipping and trade center. The famous coal-shipping industry began in the 13th cent. , England -- Nonlinear Dynamics Ltd, a leading global provider of bioinformatics solutions, today announced that The Department of Biology of the University of York This article is about the British university. For the Canadian university, see York University. The University of York is a campus university in York, England. has adopted Nonlinear's SameSpots approach as part of their 2D proteomics workflow. Under the purchase agreement, The Technology Facility within the Department of Biology has licensed TT900 S2S S2S Surfaced Two Sides (lumber) S2S Site-To-Site S2S So to Speak S2S Side to Side S2S System to System S2S Server to Server and have upgraded their existing 2D analysis software to Progenesis PG240 to support this new approach. This purchase represents the latest key sale of products to enable the SameSpots approach following its official release at US HUPO HUPO Human Proteome Organisation in March. To date, over ten institutions across Europe and the US have adopted SameSpots into their 2D workflow. This impressive uptake by proteomics researchers reflects the significant benefits users can achieve with SameSpots, including 100% matching across all images and no missing values within the 2D data. Dr Peter Ashton of The Technology Facility within the Department of Biology at the University of York, said, "Since implementing the SameSpots approach, the changes we have noted in our analysis have been very encouraging. The ability to perfectly align images within the experiment before applying SameSpots detection dramatically improves matching performance. This enables highly consistent and reliable results to be obtained from all our 2D data sets, even those that previous image analysis packages were unable to accurately quantify." Will Dracup, Group CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Nonlinear Dynamics, said, "The University of York have been valued customers for some years now and we are pleased to continue this relationship with their latest purchase. The statistical power of the SameSpots approach enables users to instantly enhance their 2D data and overcome many existing gel processing issues to obtain highly objective and accurate image analysis results." Notes to Editors --Both TT900 S2S and PG240 incorporating the SameSpots approach were demonstrated at last month's 'Practical Proteomics' course (2nd - 7th April) at the University of York. This event, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) is a British Research Council supporting several scientific research institutes and university research departments in the UK. (BBSRC BBSRC Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council ), gives researchers the opportunity to gain hands-on experience of modern proteomics techniques.
