Solutions for white biotechnology

Comprehensive knowledge of a microorganism's biosynthetic capacities is the indispensable basis of its usefulness in industrial biotechnology. Biomax offers in-depth analysis of a large variety of sequence types, including contigs, ESTs and entire genomes. Together with genome comparison, these analyses provide a solid basis for your R&D pipeline in this field. Our high-throughput system easily handles mass data which are produced by next-generation sequencing techniques. Proprietary data, such as company sequence databases and experimental results, can be integrated easily with automatically produced data sets. The manual annotation function allows dynamic development and growth of the information to provide a central gene and sequence repository for wild-type and production strains.

An easy-to-use user interface permits efficient work for the laboratory biologist as well as for the bioinformatician from the first minute on:

• Easily explore reading frames and gene predictions from a newly sequenced microorganism
• Analyze predicted protein function for newly detected enzymes
• Visualize the number of DNA polymorphisms in a comparison of two bacterial strains
• See the different chromosomal locations of homologous genes in related bacterial species
• Perform analysis of metabolic pathways
• Use identified intra-genome protein families to identify candidates for alternative gene products

Including patent databases into the system provides the basis for an efficient IP management.

The Pedant-Pro Sequence Analysis Suite gives you the chance to save time and money by annotating and comparing new genomes in a minimum of time:

• Identify new enzymes and extend your IP portfolio
• Increase production rates by using information about microbial pathways to improve following:
• Enhance expression rates of known enzymes
• Reveal and minimize pathway bottlenecks
• Optimize culture conditions to reduce production costs
• Streamline your IP management process
