Asterand and Biowisdom have entered into a data syndication agreement to provide value added delivery of Asterand's human gene expression profiles through Biowisdom's intelligence solutions.
Through this agreement, Biowisdom gains access to the data within Asterand's Target Evaluator database.
The database consists of quantitative human gene expression profiles that chart the expression topography of more than 2,500 commercially relevant gene transcripts across a panel of 72 human tissues.
These profiles are systematically generated using high-quality human RNA and a sensitive RT-PCR protocol.
Biowisdom will harmonise the data with its software solutions enabling the information to be combined with other public and private sources or utilised independently as raw data or assertional meta data.
The harmonised Asterand data is available as an entire dataset or sub-sets of selected targets and tissues.
Biowisdom's ontology-powered intelligence solutions enable researchers to visually analyse text, numerical, categorical and sequence data in a single integrated environment.
As a result, researchers are quickly able to relate divergent data sets to uncover previously unknown associations and answer key scientific questions.
