SCIENTISTS FIND FASTER WAYS TO UNCOVER GENETIC SOLUTIONS USING
NEW GENOTROPICA SOFTWARE
San Francisco, CA – March 12, 2008 —Genotropica Software today releases its
new Visual Genome 2.0, an advanced visual tool scientists use to find correlations, and possible
solutions to crucial genetic questions. Biologists and Geneticists can use this tool to discover
solutions to ultimately cure disease, and decode complex genetic structure. This powerful new
analysis and visualization tool imports genetic data from any source, and answers the evolving
needs of thousands of biologists who used the first version.
Genotropica Software is an intuitive and visually interactive genetic mapping and DNA
microarray annotation software application for advanced biotech research. Visual Genome 2.0
follows established standards for microarray analysis and utilizes real-time data on-line with
intelligent filters to present impeccable results for biotech. Blast scores are now even more
precise, and Visual Genome 2.0 detects protein sequences 10x faster when compared to existing
microarray chip definitions. Results are graphically rendered in high-definition, 100 times faster,
and the exploration of gene ontologies are visually classified according to their function and
localization.
Biologists who volunteered to beta test found Visual Genome 2.0 extremely useful in
data mining protein sequences for potential drug targets, and ultimately, to help discover cures

for diseses. All the known positions of proteins may be graphed against each other to find
possible correlations eaiser. Genentech has used Visual Genome 1.0, and tried 2.0 recently. “We
are very impressed with the accuracy it provides in determining correlations visually. We’ve
seen vast improvements in our research because of it,” says Andrea Cochran, Senior Scientist at
Genentech.
Data mining experiments are now much easier to explore genetic correlations in Visual
Genome 2.0 with high-definition Venn diagrams. Real-time, on-line data sources of Prokaryotic,
Eukaryotic or combined Prokaryotic/Eurkaryotic information can also be utilized to help
complete annotations in progress. New three-dimensional plotting methods also help biologists
immerse themselves in the data and interact virtually, revealing new helpful perspectives.
Visual Genome 2.0 now installs on any UNIX or Windows system with 500 MB RAM,
and 200 MB free disk space. Although network access is not required, it is recommended to take
advantage of the on-line community forum. To download and evaluate Visual Genome 2.0 for
thirty days, visit http://www.genotropica.com or call 1 (800) 555-1212 to request a free
demonstration CD.
Genotropica Software develops visually interactive scientific applications for genetic
mapping and DNA microarray annotation in San Francisco, CA. Operating since 1992, our teams
of engineers work closely alongside real biologists, learning first-hand how to develop useful
software to use for biotech research. Their mission is to greatly reduce the time it takes to
generate quantifiable discovery results for drug testing and FDA approval. Our national
headquarters is located at 123 California Street, San Francisco, CA 94111, and find us online at
