BioXpr - Genomic, Proteomic, Metabolomic and Database Design

BioXpr provides bioinformatics expertise in genomic, proteomic, metabolomic and database design for the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.

Our company provides innovative commercial packages for:

• Primers / probes prediction
• Molecular network visualisation
• Project management
• LIMS

GENOMICS

As the challenge of genome discovery is shifting from the generation of new sequence data to the identification and understanding of gene products and their functions, efficient data interpretation and integration of diverse public and proprietary databases are becoming critical tasks.

Our company offers expertise in building R&D support systems for primer / probe predictions, DNA microarray design and analysis, genome annotation, and SNP analysis.

PROTEOMICS

To know the structure of a protein is useful for the design and optimisation of many pharmaceutical products. BioXpr has developed its expertise around the comparative modelling of proteins, achieving high rankings in international CASP5 and EVA evaluations. Our team can tackle any projects involving protein modelling, docking, sequence alignments, mass spectrometry or protein engineering.

METABOLOMICS

Metabolomics needs for bioinformatics encompass data and information management, raw analytical data processing and ontology, statistical analysis and data mining, data integration, and mathematical modelling of metabolic networks within a framework of systems biology.

Our team has successfully developed and validated a series of critical tools to merge several sources of data, rebuild the pathways and visualise the resulting information efficiently.

DESIGN OF CUSTOM SOFTWARE

BioXpr’s expertise in developing algorithms and software can be used to create a dedicated solution for specific problems requiring high computing power and smart automated data processing.

Our expertise also includes the design of on-board software for controlling novel lab equipment.

DESIGN OF CUSTOM INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Thanks to its appropriate knowledge and smart handling of database systems, BioXpr can design, build and maintain strong and evolutive custom databases. We can also provide robust data mining solutions, generating powerful information systems for your R&D team.

BIOXPRESS - OLIGONUCLEOTIDES DESIGN SOFTWARE

BioXpress is an innovative oligonucleotides design software. Using its highly flexible software architecture, BioXpress can receive specific plug-ins to predict multiplex primers, long oligos, taqman probes, molecular beacons, scorpions probes, miRNA, siRNA, PNA, MLPA and LNA. Each prediction plug-in can be easily customised to suit your prediction methods and parameters.

NAMEK - VISUALISATION TOOL FOR METABOLIC NETWORKS

Namek is a visualisation tool for metabolic networks that is compatible with Hupo-PSI-Mi formats and able to import / export data in XML or from online databases. The networks displayed by Namek can be superimposed with gene differential expression or mass-spec data to show the variations of pathway balances in specific situations. Unlike similar software, Namek can manage up to 50,000 nodes in a single network.

TURBO PILOT - ONLINE PROJECT MANAGEMENT TOOL

Turbo Pilot© is a powerful and user-friendly online project management tool resulting from a collaboration with GSK-Biologicals. This software is designed to help project managers assign tasks to distant teams (R&D labs in multinational companies, multi-partners research projects, etc.) and to control the progress of the project using easy-to-read dashboards and statistics. For team-mates, the software provides objectives and day-to-day planning of the assigned tasks.

SIBIOCLé - MANAGEMENT AND TRACKING OF RESEARCH PROCESSES

Sibio offers customisable software solution for the management and tracking of research processes. The SibioClé is a combination of electronic lab notebook and a very complete LIMS. It supports the typical experimentation of a biotech laboratory as a standard feature and it can be adapted to very specific procedures using robots and programmable instruments.

SibioClÉ is a product from Sibio which is distributed in Benelux by BioXpr.
