Acumenta provides the Acumenta Gene Thesaurus™ as an integral part of its software
offering. This Thesaurus of human gene and protein nomenclature contains gene and protein names, symbols and
their aliases. It is produced through a combination of Acumenta technology and human curation. When an Acumenta
user composes a search that involves a gene or protein, the search is expanded to include all appropriate aliases
for that gene or protein to find search results. This ensures that the search will deliver a set of relevant
literature and patent results that is as complete as possible.
The Acumenta Gene Thesaurus™ is used by Literature Lab™ to assure that a complete set of abstracts
is obtained for each gene. Because the Gene Thesaurus is genome-wide, it enables Literature Lab™ to operate
with the widest possible data set for statistical analysis.
The Acumenta Gene Thesaurus™ currently contains almost 33,000 active gene names and over 178,000 gene names
and gene and protein aliases and is updated regularly. Whenever a user starts the Acumenta software application
on a new day, any updates to the Acumenta Gene Thesaurus™ are automatically downloaded.
