Tokyo, Japan & Budapest, Hungary, January 31st, 2008 – INFOCOM Corporation (http://www.infocom.co.jp/bio), a ChemAxon Integration Partner, today launched “JChem Extensions” for KNIME, which allows researchers to deal with chemical structure data using ChemAxon’s software tools such as Marvin, JChem, Standardizer, on the KNIME open source workflow platform.
JChem Extensions offers a set of new KNIME nodes with which users can easily build their own workflows and data mining applications for working with chemical data. Further enhancing the use of the JChem Extensions, KNIME enables users to integrate their own software developed in house and other commercially available software tools such as those from Schrödinger or Tripos.
JChem Extensions contains has about 20 novel nodes for the KNIME workflow platform, from basic functions dealing with chemical structure data (Basic module) to special functions using ChemAxon’s software tools such as Marvin, JChem, Standardizer and more.
The development has been driven by our clients interest in ChemAxon and KNIME and the functionality we are launching is as a result of speaking to and testing with pharmaceutical researchers.
INFOCOM also offers next generation Cheminformatics solutions via the J-STRIKE™ series. Work is currently underway in preparing a KNIME node to enable access to J-STRIKE functionality. J-STRIKE™ series, through ChemAxon’s highly granular Application Programming Interface (API) and INFOCOM’s accumulated know-how through many years of systems integration for pharmaceutical and chemical Institutions, is a customizable Web-based system which helps scientists better handle and extend information and processes useful in modern life science and chemical research.
INFOCOM entered into a partnership with KNIME GmbH, which develops the KNIME platform, in October 2007. Since then, INFOCOM has finalized development on the first major release of its KNIME nodes and now markets and sells these nodes globally.
For academic customer, INFOCOM offer “JChem Extensions: Base” without charge.
