Axxam to integrate Ingenuity Pathways Analysis 3.0 into its gene expression platform
Milan, Italy and Redwood City, CA - Nov 9, 2005 - Axxam and Ingenuity today announced that they have entered into an agreement for the licensing of Ingenuity Pathways Analysis 3.0, significantly accelerating Axxam in their genes-to-targets discovery process. Axxam will integrate the newest release of the Ingenuity Pathways Analysis into its gene expression platform.
Axxam conducts global expression analysis on common diseases to identify the major players involved in these diseases and their interactions, which provide the basis for comprehensive pathology understanding and therapeutic target identification. Axxam is also involved in gene-by-gene quantitative HT expression profiling through its proprietary database (GeneTrawler®), with a main focus on druggable gene products. The Ingenuity Pathways Analysis application is being applied to Axxam research programs in several selected therapeutic areas to identify novel targets.
Ingenuity Pathways Analysis 3.0 enables researchers to model, analyze and understand the complex biological systems at the core of life science research. With Ingenuity Pathways Analysis, scientists can integrate their own biological discoveries into Ingenuity networks, enabling more powerful computation and functional analysis. The Ingenuity application allows scientists to create customized pathways for particular targets, biomarkers, disease areas, and processes, leveraging Ingenuity's broad knowledge base of biological relationships between genes and proteins, cells, tissues, and diseases.
Fully functional complimentary trials of the NEW Ingenuity Pathways Analysis 3.0 are available to qualified scientists at www.ingenuity.com/trial.
