ApoCom Genomics' GrailEXP Software supports BSML standard for data exchangeSan Diego 25 October 2001 ApoCom Genomics' powerful GrailEXP gene prediction software will support the BSML data format, the widely accepted open XML standard for exchange and integration of bioinformatics data. The use of BSML makes the enhanced gene identification technology of ApoCom's GrailEXP immediately interoperable with all other systems that use BSML.
ApoCom Genomics joins a rapidly growing list of organisations supporting the open BSML standard for genome research. Among the others are the EMBL's European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI), IBM, Bristol-Myers Squibb, John Wiley & Sons, Ohio Supercomputer Center, NetGenics, Celestar Lexico-Sciences, National Foundation for Cancer Research, and other BIO member companies.
"The interoperability of GrailEXP's sophisticated gene prediction capabilities with all systems supporting BSML gives scientists easy access to a powerful tool for gene discovery", commented Dr. Adel Mikhail, Senior Vice President of LabBook. "We are using GrailEXP internally to annotate the OSU Human Genome Database and we are impressed with the results."
Dr. Robin Zimmer, President and CEO of ApoCom Genomics, stated: "ApoCom Genomics is very excited about offering GrailEXP to LabBook. BSML is fast becoming the XML DTD standard in the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors. Support of the BSML standard benefits our customers by making our products interoperable with other software tools they use, such as LabBook's Genomic XML Suite. This enhances the value of GrailEXP to commercial and academic researchers around the world."
The new GrailEXP permits true parallel alignment processing, identifies splice variants, easily configures to any corporate or academic architecture, and is regarded as one the most accurate gene modeling programmes available.
