2007-02-09
Active Motif today announced that Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), based in Phoenix, Arizona, has licensed its unique knowledge mining software, AKS2 (almaKnowledgeServer™). TGen will use this software to facilitate the interrogation of genomic-profiling data such as high-throughput siRNA screening.
"AKS2 will help us integrate prior knowledge located in the literature in a rapid and efficient manner. We will use AKS2 as an integral part of the knowledge mining activities that support the pharmacogenomic-based research activities within TGen," said Dr. Jeff Kiefer, Head of the Knowledge Mining Lab in TGen's Pharmaceutical Genomics Division.
Joseph Fernandez, CEO of Active Motif, commented, "Our customers continue to see the value of biocomputing and knowledge mining tools, and they understand how using these technologies to analyze their data more thoroughly will greatly enhance their research efforts. I am pleased that an organization as prestigious as TGen has selected Active Motif to be an integral part of their pharmacogenomic-based research."
