Description:

Ocimum Biosolutions is a leading integrated genomics company providing GLP-compliant microarray services, comprehensive genomic reference databases, life science lab information management solutions and essential research consumables. Majority of the top 25 pharmaceutical companies, leading research institutes and emerging biotech companies worldwide have chosen us as their preferred outsourcing partner and utilize our expertise for understanding underlying mechanisms of diseases, discovery and prioritization of gene targets and biomarkers. Our solutions span across key priority areas including BioPharmaceutical, Diagnostics, Agriculture, Food & Nutrition. Diverse research and development efforts in such key areas have benefited from our unique range of integrated services.

We provide multi-platform GLP-compliant gene expression, SNP genotyping and other Microarray based services. We also provide full biorepository and genomic services support for the Genetic Alliance, which is an umbrella organization representing ~600 genetic advocacy groups. Besides providing the physical infrastructure for storing thousands of biological samples, we provide services to assist sample accrual, IRB approvals, CRO training, sample collection, clinical data capture and management.

Our global infrastructure, standardized procedures, capacity, expertise and highly skilled staff support drug development programs from pre-clinical target development and toxicogenomic assessment to clinical biomarker identification and patient stratification. In creating the world’s largest commercial gene expression databases – BioExpress® and ToxExpress®, we have developed expertise and capabilities that are unparalleled in the genomic services industry. Our specialty LIMS solution, Biotracker™ caters to the growing needs of core labs in global companies and research centers involved in Life Science Research.

As a preferred partner for genomic outsourcing, we continue to invest on quality resources and technologies for enabling global R&D.

We offer a range of world-class solutions for clinical genomics, biomarker discovery and validation, genomic data analysis, latest platforms and protocols for gene expression profiling, SNP Genotyping, gene expression reference suites and life science Lab Information Management Systems.

BioExpress® System is a comprehensive genome-wide gene expression database with histopathology, clinical chemistry, hematology, treatment, follow-up and many other clinical details for over 22,000 clinically-defined tissue, blood, and cell samples from human clinical studies and complementary animal models. The BioExpress® System offers in a single platform, all of the phenotypic, clinical and experimental information which is coupled seamlessly with high-quality Affymetrix GeneChip® microarray data.

ToxExpress® Program is a flexible and enabling program that brings the power of toxicity-based gene expression coupled with classical toxicology endpoints to lead optimization and drug safety studies. In addition, Gene Logic’s ToxExpress® Program helps to streamline, focus and augment subsequent classical studies through specialized applications that support key research areas of predictive, investigative, and mechanistic toxicology as well as safety biomarker discovery.

ASCENTA® System provides a fast, easy, and affordable way to assess, prioritize, and qualify gene targets and potential biomarkers. The intuitive, highly visual gene expression reference system provides summarized, high quality microarray expression data from difficult-to-obtain, well-annotated, diseased and normal tissue samples organized into sample sets defined by relevant clinical parameters

The newly upgraded Genesis Enterprise System® Software version 3.0 (Genesis 3.0) provides a collaborative, secure environment incorporating integrated visualization and analysis tools that allow you to examine expression data and sample attributes simultaneously and perform a wide variety of analyses. This system enables you to easily create and manage a large number of sample and gene sets and store and share analysis results for on-going investigations.

Biotracker™ is a specialty Lab Information Management Solution (LIMS) for enhancing productivity and effectiveness in life sciences research laboratories. Biotracker™ addresses the challenges of supporting multi-disciplinary labs, collaboration and data management needs. Biotracker™ offers several specialty modules that address the needs in life sciences research laboratories performing Biobanking, Gene Expression, Genotyping, DNA Sequencing, and/or Proteomics.

Genowiz™ is a powerful gene expression analysis program that has been designed to store, process and visualize gene expression data efficiently. It includes a suite of advanced analysis methods from which researchers can select appropriate analysis methods for their dataset. Genowiz™ allows researchers to organize experimental information (MIAME), import data files quickly and easily, work simultaneously with multiple experiments, import gene annotation files, pre-process and normalize data, perform cluster analysis, classify and view gene information, perform functional classification and track down intricate correlations in data by performing pathway analysis. All analysis performed is saved in database and can be retrieved as required.

Genchek™ is a comprehensive, multi-platform, sequence analysis software package. It facilitates analysis of Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs), Complete Genome, and SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) data.Read more
