Acumenta is a software company dedicated to empowering individual life scientists, project teams and the entire R&D organization by enabling thorough, efficient and novel use of external information sources. Acumenta software solutions support knowledge development in the following ways:

• Through Literature Lab™, a novel text mining application that enriches gene lists by identifying significant biological and chemical terms associated with the genes as a set.  This enrichment is performed in 18 biological dimensions that include diseases, pathways, chemical substances, cell lines, metabolism and cell biology. Literature Lab™ connects scientists directly to literature that is related to their experiments, it confirms current work in the laboratory and it assists with new hypothesis generation. Read an article in BMC Genomics about Literature Lab™ and its application.
• Through the Online Research Assistant™ a knowledge discovery application that provides automated support for search, assimilation, annotation and sharing of online research.
• Through the Acumenta Gene Thesaurus™, a curated repository of gene and protein nomenclature.  The Gene Thesaurus™ is used in searches of biomedical literature for articles that mention specific genes and proteins. The Thesaurus content is optimized to provide search results that have high precision and high recall and is used in search engines, biological taxonomies and dictionary systems.

The Acumenta knowledge discovery solutions are in use by scientists and information professionals in biotechnology firms, global pharmaceutical companies and non-profit life sciences research institutions.
