Genomatix is a pioneer and leader in the analysis and understanding of eukaryotic gene regulation. Technological leadership is complemented by a microarray analysis pipeline. This unique Genomatix-strategy and product integration allows efficient handling of low level analysis from raw expression data (e.g. CEL files), pathway/network analysis, biological classification and identification of the molecular basis for co-regulation on gene promoter level. All Genomatix tools for each step of the analysis have been awarded the Affymetrix GeneChip-compatible status. The integrated Genomatix approach allows unparalleled analysis of the full potential of microarray data and generates new knowledge concerning the biological mechanisms involved by superimposing pathway and sequence information. In addition, the analysis time has been drastically reduced, resulting in a significantly enhanced ROI for microarray experiments. Genomatix has published more than 170 peer reviewed scientific papers that have been cited in more than 4,000 papers. Over 27,000 researchers worldwide currently apply Genomatix tools and databases.
