Acumenta Adds Support for Agilent Microarray Chips,
Enabling Automated Processing by Literature Lab™
Boston, MA – April 8, 2008: Acumenta Corporation
(www.acumenta.com) announces support for prominent Agilent microarray
products, including: the Dual Mode Gene Expression products: Whole Human Genome, Whole Mouse Genome, Whole Rat
Genome and Monkey Genome and the Oligo aCGH Human, Mouse and Rat microarrays.
With the addition of these Agilent products, Acumenta's Literature Lab™ literature mining platform
will accept direct input of Agilent data. Agilent probe ID's are directly mapped into the Acumenta
Gene Thesaurus™ assuring precise and comprehensive analysis of scientific literature by Literature Lab™.
Literature Lab™ is a literature mining application for scientists in academic/research institutions and
biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. It performs literature-based gene set enrichment and
facilitates advanced literature review for scientists researching new disease therapies. Literature
Lab™ simplifies understanding of underlying biology associated with experimentally derived gene sets and
is an advancement over single-gene analysis tools.
“By simplifying advanced literature mining, Literature Lab™ is a significant addition to the
repertoire of new tools becoming available that help scientists accelerate drug discovery,” said
Paul R. Martinez, Acumenta's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Literature Lab™
currently mines over 9.2 million PubMed abstracts to help scientists infer biology from microarray data and
other gene lists of interest.”
Founded in 2001, Acumenta Corporation is based in Boston, Massachusetts. Acumenta is a software and information
company serving biotechnology and pharmaceutical firms and non-profit research organizations. Acumenta builds
applications on the Acumenta platform that automate information gathering, analysis and management tasks
