Transinsight and antibodies-online develop Software for semantic Gene and Protein Identification
Semantically fitting research antibodies will be automatically suggested within GoPubMed's search results for abstracts from biomedical publications

AACHEN, GERMANY, June 06, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Since July 2009 Transinsight GmbH and antibodiesonline
GmbH partner together with TU Dresden and RESprotect GmbH to develop and deploy new
semantic search technologies for the Life-Science industry. Their joint efforts are funded by the
THESEUS research program from the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology
(BMWi). With only a few months into the project, the partnering companies are now able to
demonstrate a first outcome of their research to the public: Research antibodies that semantically fit to genes and proteins discussed within a certain biomedical publication are automatically suggested to the reader on Transinsight's search engine www.GoPubMed.com.

"The scientist, who keeps himself up-to-date on recent biomedical publications with our knowledgebased search engine GoPubMed.com is now further supported by suggestions of semantically fitting research products for his/her specific research needs" says Dr. Michael R. Alvers, founder and CEO of Transinsight GmbH. The time consuming search for the right research antibody to a specific research question is one of the key pains in proteomics and genomics laboratories. Any simplification of this search problem, which delivers correct information instead of unhelpful, generic advertising, is welcome within the scientific community. Searching, finding and ordering the right research antibody from within a global offer of 500.000 products from more than 500 suppliers worldwide is normally a tedious work. To apply semantic, knowledge driven product recommendations to biomedical publications and thus to allow to significantly reduce the workload for the scientist always in need of research products is a truly innovative approach.

"Once the scientist has chosen a product of interest, antibodies-online GmbH takes care of all the rest, i.e. procurement of the desired products from anywhere around the world", adds Dr. Andreas Kessell, founder and managing director of antibodies-online GmbH. "Our customer is not bound to the portfolio of a single supplier but can chose from a neutral portfolio of research antibodies, that are suggested with the biomedical publications" says Dr. Kessell.

The software solution behind this innovative offer of the partnering companies Transinsight und
antibodies-online is currently being developed within the research program THESEUS. Transinsight's existing semantic search platform already detects genes and proteins reliably in scientific publications and these results can be linked to the products on antibodies-online.com. "With the launch of this first prototype we managed the initial integration of the information provided on the two platforms of the partnering companies however, the list of tasks to be taken on remains long" explains Dr. Alvers.
