New add-ins to the Symyx Draw software will allow users to calculate physical properties, generate IUPAC nomenclature, and predict NMR chemical shifts from within the chemical drawing software.
Following its acquisition of MDLs products, Symyx Technologies has made several improvements to the MDL Isentris informatics system. Symyx Isentris Version 3.0 integrates information from both internal and external sources.
The MathWorks has introduced a new version of the Bioinformatics Toolbox for Matlab. Version 3.0 includes improved functions for the analysis and visualisation of data from microarrays and mass spectrometers.
Genedata has released Genedata Screener Version 5.0, an enterprise solution for screen-to-lead research data analysis and management.
Thomson Scientific has released Bondplus, an integrated, web-based data platform to address the information requirements of biological researchers.
BioFocus DPI has released five new compound libraries targeting the ion channel gene family. The new libraries are aimed at two of the most important classes of ion channels for drug discovery.
DNAStar has released ArrayStar v2.0, its new software for microarray gene expression analysis that provides visualisation and statistical analysis tools to permit researchers to rapidly and easily track changes in gene expression levels.
Unigen Pharmaceuticals has implemented the ACD/Structure Elucidator from ACD/Labs to manage multiple analytical techniques and data formats when identifying the structure of lead compounds.
Bioinformatics company DNAStars ArrayStar microarray data analysis software has been designated compatible with the Affymetrix GeneChip microarray platform.
DNAStar has released ArrayStar v2.0, its new software for microarray gene expression analysis. The introduction of ArrayStar will allow DNAStar to compete in the rapidly growing microarray markets largest segment, gene expression analysis.
Through the use of cutting-edge simulation, software engineers are developing innovative new wind energy technology and increasing the efficiency and durability of wind turbines. The drive to find sustainable energy sources is one of the most pressing concerns facing society.
Dame Sally Davies, the outgoing Chief Medical Officer for England, pulls no punches when it comes to the threat of antibiotic resistance. She has called for an ‘Extinction Rebellion-type’ response to it, describing it as ‘catastrophic’ and ‘as dangerous as climate change’.
The Pistoia Alliance has been pioneering initiatives that will support organisations as they work to enable and engage Fair (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) principles of data management and stewardship in their organisations.
Achronix and Bittware collaborate on a new FPGA designed for cloud, AI and machine learning applications, writes Robert Roe
By increasing the energy efficiency of a supercomputer scientists can save huge amounts of money over the total lifecycle of the system. With ever-increasing core counts and increasingly large supercomputers, the drive for increased computational power comes at a cost.
