Incyte Genomics to Sell Access to Proteome BioKnowledge Databases
Submitted by Martin Kucej; posted on Thursday, April 18, 2002 (14 comments)

One of the most useful databases, which gathers comprehensive data on proteomes of several organisms, including yeast and human, will require a paid subscription as of June 1st of this year (2002).
Incyte Genomics plans to charge $2000 US per year per laboratory to access the library. A laboratory is defined to be ``a single Principal Investigator, his/her postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and technical support (usually 5-8 individuals).'' According to information provided, ``larger labs, depending on their size, may be required to purchase multiple subscriptions.''
Charging the fee of $2000 US will simply mean cessation of its use for thousands of laboratories, mainly from poor countries, unfortunately, also including most of the European laboratories.
Incyte Genomics seems to take seriously its slogan: ``Integrating the Science and Business of Genomics.''

metalife analyzer combines algorithms for the creation and improvement of knowledge-based ontologisms, for the promotion of lexical tools? development and for making the extraction of knowledge possible by means of automated classification and derivation of common concepts.
various internal implementation forms of metalife analyzer continuously feed the results in the metalife knowledgebase. metalife analyzer uses high-developed algorithms for semantic text analysis aimed at the classification of texts and establishment of their conception context.
for one of these algorithms, metalife tmp (text minding process), a patent application was placed on 06.07.2001 (no. 101 32 320.4) with the german patent office. the proprietary thesauri covering a full spectrum of various biological categories, as well as the extensive synonym and acronym lists and the further developed ontologisms represent important components of the metalife products.
