Why was it crucial to bring Unleashed Informatics into the Thomson solution set?
JBH. Unleashed was already highly respected for its BIND database and its integration with the more than 80 million published, available biological sequences. We believed there was so much more this data could be doing. Our first goal was to integrate the content with the nine million biological sequences in our GENESEQ database, a process we’ve achieved with the BONDplus database we launched in August this year. At its heart, BONDplus focuses on the biological sequence, of course. It also equips you to look beyond it to the interaction, taxonomy, publication, annotation, domain and cross-reference data that surrounds it. We gathered this data from 15 assembled information types, and you can build your own content seamlessly into it. So in one place, you’ve got all the relevant biological and IP relationships for your molecule of interest. This will provide a significant advantage to biological researchers and their managers. They can expect to see a decrease in the time spent searchin
