Genedata Phylosopher: An infrastructure solution that has become a standard for data driven research in White Biotech

Thomas Hartsch, Joe Shambaugh, Ludwig Macko, and Hans-Peter Fischer. Genedata, Maulbeerstrasse 46, Basel, Switzerland

Research over the last decade was mainly driven by the implementation of new technologies that became an established and accepted standard, like genome sequencing and various -omics technologies. Automation, miniaturization and computational power enabled this progress. All workhorses in biotech, like bacteria, fungi, eukaryotic cells and plants, have been sequenced and their investigation via high throughput -omics technologies is ongoing. We see a new era in data generation and still face the challenge to establish a generic integrative approach in data handling and analysis. In close collaboration with our customers we developed a flexible, scalable and integrative solution to support and streamline research processes. The underlying concept of Genedata Phylosopher is the seamless integration of public and proprietary data in one database. The system comes with interactive tools to analyze data, and to store and share the results across the organization. This paves the way for projects that follow a system biology and genomic design approach to understand and improve productivity by rational means. The infrastructure enriches and streamlines interdisciplinary communication, decision support and experimental planning from wet lab biologist to computer scientist, modeler and project leader. We will present examples of research processes at commercial and academic partners in Europe that Genedata's infrstructure solution supports.
