Scisco Genetics is a small company in Seattle whose near term goals are to establish software solutions
for sale and support to the biomedical scientific community, especially
as they relate to the acquisition and analysis of genetic data for
application to clinical medicine. The Company will support the further
technical development and deployment of software, called the Genetics
Management System (GeMS), now in use in a number of independent
research laboratories. This system includes tools for data acquisition,
archiving, querying, retrieval, visualization, integration and
management, web-based linkage tools for data sharing and tools for
electronic communication, and new analytical tools for interpretation
of complex DNA sequence data. Specific plans include improving existing
tools and implementing new solutions for data analysis, extending GeMS
to support new data models, improving the functionality towards
interaction with other systems, and expanding the number of
deployments. These efforts will engage the development and application
of new biocomputing tools or technologies for particular areas of
scientific opportunity in biomedical research.
