Market study reveals 20 per cent growth for ELNs

-

Atrium Research has published the 2008 Electronic Laboratory Notebook Survey. This study contains the results and analysis of a survey of information technology, management, and scientific personnel in the life sciences, chemical, academic, government and food markets. Comprehensive data and analysis are reported on dozens of questions answered by 527 professionals from more than 20 countries. The report highlights user and prospective user opinions on data management challenges, technology interest, motivations, project goals, purchase timing, integration needs, and supplier product and brand perception.

According to the report, the market for ELNs is exploding, with more than 30 suppliers offering commercial solutions. One of the fastest growing informatics markets with a growth rate of nearly 20 per cent per year, ELNs are radically improving the effectiveness of laboratory operations. ELNs enable new approaches to knowledge management, collaboration, and data integration.

'We project sustained double-digit growth for ELNs for at least the next three years,' said Michael H Elliott, founder and CEO of Atrium Research. 'Our study shows the use of the technology expanding beyond early adopters in research synthetic chemistry into domains such as biology and analytical chemistry. Commercial life sciences continue to lead adoption; more than 30 per cent of biopharmaceutical companies have installed an ELN in at least one department.'

XTractor maps the extracted entities (genes, processes, drugs, diseases etc) to multiple ontologies and enables customized report generation. With XTractor the sentences are categorized into biological significant relationships and it also provides the user with the ability to create his own database for a set of Key terms. Also the user could change the Keywords of preference from time to time, with changing research needs. The categorized sentences could then be tagged and shared across multiple users. Thus XTractor proves to be a platform for getting real-time highly accurate data along with the ability to Share and collaborate.

Sequence Analysis is still sexy:Dual Descriptor Method for Biological Sequence Analysis

-
The emergence of “Systems Biology” in recent years highlights the systematic viewpoint of bio-system modeling. Building on such a background, Dual Descriptor Method, a generic methodology for biological sequence analysis is proposed. From a systematic perspective, Dual Descriptor is defined as a two element set of Composition Weight Map and Position Weight Function which aim at reflecting the composition and permutation information of a sequence. An alternate training algorithm is provided to get an optimum description of the building patterns of the sequences. In this paper , dual descriptor method has been applied to the analysis of two typical problems of molecular biology: gene identification and the prediction of protein function. Satisfactory and insightful results are achieved. Owing to the generality of this methodology, dual descriptor method has wide application perspective for many problems of pattern recognition, especially those involved in “Systems Biology”.

Abbott Laboratories Buys Piramal Healthcare Limited Biz for $3.72B

-
Abbott May 21 announced a definitive agreement with Piramal Healthcare Limited to acquire full ownership of Piramal's Healthcare Solutions business (Domestic Formulations), a leader in the Indian branded generics market, for an up-front payment of $2.12 billion , plus $400 million annually for the next four years, giving Abbott the No. 1 position in the Indian pharmaceutical market. This further accelerates Abbott's emerging markets growth following the recent acquisition of Solvay Pharmaceuticals and announcements last week of Abbott's collaboration with Zydus Cadila as well as the creation of a new stand-alone Established Products Division to focus on expanding the global markets for its leading branded generics portfolio. "This strategic action will advance Abbott into the leading market position in India , one of the world's most attractive and rapidly growing markets," said Miles D. White , chairman and chief executive officer, Abbott. &quo
