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 helps scientists infer biology from experimentally derived gene lists; Literature Lab™ enriches gene sets in 18 biological dimensions that include pathways, diseases, chemicals/drugs, cell lines, metabolism and cell biology.   Literature Lab™ solves two major challenges shared by virtually all investigators whose work involves microarray analysis and other genomic experimentation:
  • Gaining a thorough understanding of the biology associated with their gene lists.
  • Keeping up with the constant deluge of new scientific literature and actually using it accelerate their research.
  Read an article in BMC Genomics about Literature Lab™ and its application.
• 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.
