Press release
ITTM and QIAGEN provide new tranSMART functionality
ITTM S.A. in partnership with QIAGEN
Boston, MA, April 6th, 2016
Information Technology for Translational Medicine, S.A. (ITTM S.A.) announced today that it has partnered with QIAGEN to develop the first prototype of a connector between tranSMART and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA®). The connector will be provided to the tranSMART Foundation to further strengthen the development of the tranSMART platform. tranSMART is a global open-source bio-medical knowledge management platform and the new application is available on the latest tranSMART version release 1.2.4.
Scientists who have access to both platforms will be able to transfer data from tranSMART to IPA® for further analysis. The results of the IPA Core Analysis are being transferred back to tranSMART for visualization. IPA® is a web-based software application for the analysis, integration, and interpretation of data derived from ‘omics experiments, such as RNAseq, small RNAseq, microarrays including miRNA and SNP, metabolomics, proteomics, and small- scale experiments that generate gene and chemical lists.
“We wanted to provide a flexible solution that fits the requirements of our pharma partners. We plan to further develop the prototype and to provide additional integration solutions for our customers in the future.” Dr. Andreas Kremer, Managing Director of ITTM S.A.
“This is a great example how one can use Ingenuity Pathway Analysis’ programming interfaces to integrate our unique and best in class content and interpretation capabilities in pathway analysis and genomics into a knowledge ecosystem covering other areas of knowledge”, said Dr. Frank Schacherer, VP for QIAGEN Bioinformatics.” ITTM has proven to be an excellent partner for tranSMART integration and customization.”
