GeneBio Launches Updated Phenyx Platform at HUPO 2007

Geneva Bioinformatics (GeneBio) SA announced that it has launched a new version of the Phenyx protein identification and characterization platform that will be first demonstrated at HUPO 2007 in October. This new release groups together a variety of enhancements aimed at smoothing the process workflow and facilitating integration within third-party proteomics pipelines.

Highlights of Phenyx 2.5 include:

• An updated server-side code to accelerate the searches and to more efficiently handle large DNA databanks

• Full integration for the Institute of System Biology’s Trans Proteomics Pipeline (TPP/IPP) and Proteome Software’s Scaffold

• Enhanced and secured Web services for seamless management and integration of Phenyx into any third party proteomics pipeline.

• The development of the Phenyx daemon functionalities to manually and automatically perform batch submissions from any mass spectrometer, including pre-processing steps such as data conversion and peak list filtering

Developed in collaboration with the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB), Phenyx is GeneBio’s renowned software platform for the identification and characterization of proteins and peptides from mass spectrometry data, specifically designed to meet the concurrent demands of high-throughput MS data analysis and dynamic results assessment while offering a flexible user experience and an adaptable architecture to help instill confidence in results assessment.

GeneBio will be present at HUPO 2007 in Seoul, Korea from October 6 – 10.
